I tried to get to the source, but Mozilla doesn't display the MBUSA site correctly. I can't view your links either. But I believe you now and it agrees with what I found on fueleconomy.gov. There I see the 2008 E-class Bluetec's emissions are rated as Bin 8. Yeah, that's not good enough for CA. Thanks, I learned something today.
