FUEL OPINIONS

Just curious. I use non ethanol gas in boats and mowers and in 95 corvette. Some non ethanol gas is 98 octane, which is higher octane than most premium gas. Just wondering if it makes sense to use hi octane non ethanol gas in SL550. Is there a benefit to using this type gas at about 75 cents more per gallon?

Everything in the car is designed for E10 (10% ethanol). The increase in "octane rating" is not needed. I'd save my money.
