Anyone have any knowledge on if our cars can run Ethanol? S430, S500, S55, S600?

I am considering a new car and the ability for it's engine to run Ethanol is a new factor to consider... it might be fun to make my own gas... I am pursuing the permit from TTB to do so.

of course... I might just say F it and get the new S-Class W221 regardless. lol

 

A few late-model MB engines can take E85. They're typically lower output engines in C-class cars. All the V8s and V12s require 91 octane.

 

LOL you might as well pour Coke and Mentos haha

 

saw image of an instruction manual that said Premium gasoline for Performance

 

saw a post about an E class from 1994 where someone claimed that the performance of his car improved by 25% E 85

 

It is possible to convert the engine or replace certain parts so that it can withstand E85 ? and also the E85 Tune car. if anyone still does it for that car model

 

maybe not 85% but maybe 15 or 25% ?

 

ask Mercedes or someone who has experience with Mercedes engines
