Hello everyone,

Which fuel brand do you use for your GLE? I know any top-tier fuel should be fine, but I’ve noticed some differences. I tracked a full tank of Costco Premium 93 and got around 21.2 mpg with average driving conditions. Today, I filled up with Shell V-Power Nitro+ and immediately noticed the car felt smoother, with a mileage of about 26.4 mpg. It might be too early to tell, and it could just be a placebo effect, but I’m curious—what fuel do you usually use in your GLE?

You can also vote by selecting one option. Poll is right at the top of this post.

Thanks!

Costco, this week it was almost $1/gal cheaper than Chevron.

O geez here we go, waiting on the don’t waste your money crew to join in. Ive been driving for 300 years with ____ gas no issues everr.

Anyways I voted. Shell is my #1 choice for my regular full ups for 93, Mobil or Exxon is my #2 option if I am far from home and Shell is not available. And then Sunoco #3 if the preferred options are not available. And also Sunoco for E85.

My preferred station nearby the residence is Chevron. I use Gas Buddy app to locate the cheapest and nearest top tier when I'm away from home or road tripping. I use Fuelio app to track MPGs and maintenance.

I use Ontario Hydro electricity for my GLE 450e at less than 1/5th the price of gasoline. 😉. My first fill up was after 3 months of ownership.

I typically go for Shell but fall back to any of the top teir places depending on the situation.

You'd have to have some seriously stable gasoline to last as long as it will on your car.🙂
I bet we'll get some feedback on the stale gasoline in the next year or so, as EV adoption increases.

BTW over the last week or so, I've seen a few reports lowering the estimated EV saturation to under 30%.
These were energy studies, where they thought data centers and Bitcoin mining were going to exceed the energy consumption of EVS soon.
Thread drift, sorry....

Two years ago I filled up at a gas station that was previously a Shell station. Now it's unbranded, primarily liquor.
I talked to the owner.
It turns out he was an executive at Shell corporate who was "downsized," so he bought this gas station with his separation money.

He said that Shell is getting out of retail gasoline.
I know it's been getting harder to find.

I got curious about this exact topic, had a small discussion here: https://mbworld.org/forums/gle-class...ne-issues.html

Ethanol free gas helps but still...

shell is a billion miles ahead on the gas tech and oil (pennzoil platinum). it's all I run in my cars.
