What gas do you use?
I have recently bought a 92' 300E with 183K miles. The owners manual says to use nothing less then 91. I know one mercedes dealership told a friend of mine who bought a 96' that if he didn't want to put a new engine in it he definately should run premium in it. I wanted to get the forums opinion.
Fiz123 92' 300E

I have used nothing but regular unleaded in my 1986 560 SEL since it was new. Engine runs fine at 148K miles. That being said, if you plan on doing lots of hard acceleration, trailer pulling, or high speed driving then you should be using premium.

Owners manual for the 5.6 litre demands premium fuel
For the past ten years, ONLY Chevron Supreme Unleaded, never a drop of anything else, never! No exceptions there- the car lives a HELL of a lot better than I do
  It costs more, but the result is that at 117,000 miles the injectors are just fine and the car has always run beautifully, never a problem, under any condition. I have heard that Chevron Supreme with "techron" additive supposedly cleans the injectors as you drive, and that gas has worked well for me, and I guess I will still keep with it, it's easy available anyplace in California, though its not cheap..

The station on the corner used to be Citgo, changed to Mobil a few weeks ago, but I buy their 93 octane and have never had an issue...keep in mind, in the midwest we have had 10% ethanol in our fuel for years and I wonder what that's doing to my cars?!
