Since these forums are open to the entire world, and not knowing where you are located, it is hard to say.
I happen to live in the US in Virginia and the cetane number posted on the Exxon pump is 45. 40 is usually the standard at most stations. Anything over 45 would be considered "high test" (at least in my opinion).

is higher usually better than lower? I read somewhere that you generally want a higher number and no bio-diesel in the mix ( or less than 5%) as MB does not warrant the vehicle over 5% bio mix
