If premium gas is an issue or in question...there are many other cars out there that take regular...it's time to move on to one of those. Forgive me if it sounds pompous but why bother getting a Mercedes Benz if the type of gas is a concern...it is.. what it is..a car that requires premium gas for optimum peformance...the end

Premium gas MIX
I've owned Porsche, BMW, Corvette and now MB.. all run best with Premium because they are set up by factory for widest possible class of use... but filling up at half tank with mid then next half with premium is suffieient for most all use except lead foot. Occassional use of additives help from time to time both the octane boost and cleaners type. Buying expensive cars doesn't mean you must be stupid rich yacht owners to disregard price of fuel!
If your financial advisor states you should not worry about fuel expenses because you bought an upscale car, get another advisor.
