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.

I just checked page 385 of the 2012 owners manual and it says the following;

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?

The new car window sticker also says E85 is Ok but I would not use it. Here in Oregon we have to use E10 and there is some talk about mandating the E85. I hope not!!

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.
