Is the 2013 ML350 4Matic now a Flex Fuel Vehicle?
While visiting the Dealer today I noticed the 2013 ML350 required fuel Premium was 91 octane E10 to E85. It said this on the vehicle information and on the inside of the fuel filler door. I wonder if this is now standard on all gasoline 2013 MLs or is it an additional order.

Flexible fuel vehicles can be recognized by the Ethanol up to E85 sticker on the inside of the fuel filler flap.
I never realized this, I have to check my fuel door later.

Go ahead. Use E85. If you like paying a 20% premium for fuel.
I wonder how the "I only burn Regular so I can save a nickle" folks fit in with the E85 economics?

Wasn't thinking about buying E85, with the new E15 requirements coming it's an advantage to have a vehicle with a fuel system that can handle the adverse affects that the increase in ethanol will have on many vehicles.

I noticed the E85 on the fuel tank cap on my 2013 ML 350. I think I remember reading that you can use E85 if that's the only choice available, just like you can use the regular unleaded if you run out of gas.
