Best brand of gas to use for an SLK320?
Hey all, what brand of gasoline have you noticed gives you the best performance (mainly in an SLK320)? And also, does 94 octane really make a difference in the SLk320 compared to 93 octane?

Here in Sweden i run it on 98 octane. it's a little bit more expensive but it's worth it cause the engine runs a little better with it! this engine is worthy of the best!

'02 SLK32 AMG
Check out this thread on the BenzWorld SLK forum

It's about the SLK32 AMG, but the same applies to pretty much all new M-Bs. If you pay extra for anything over 93, you're wasting your money.
BTW, 91 is just about all you can get in Phoenix anymore. Four or five years ago, most stations had 92 or 93, but now they all have 91. I've heard there is a "76" station that sells 100-octane racing fuel, but it terribly expensive.
