Heard the darndest thing the other night
We had some friends over for dinner on Saturday. This couple has a '99 ML320. I asked them if they had any problems and they said only one. Some light was coming on so they took it to the dealer. The dealers said that the premium gasoline was had melted the seal and told them to use midgrade from now on. WEIRD!??!

I'm dead serious. This wouldn't make sense if it were, say, dishwashing liquid. Oh, can't use Dawn extra lemon, it corrodes my forks and knives, have to use Dawn regular. D'oh!

I hope they followed the FSS schedule and had the air in their tires changed too...you KNOW how old air will eventually corrode the tire beads as well...
