Mercedes-Benz C180 2008 2008 Q&As

Check out real-world situations relating to the Mercedes-Benz C180 2008 2008 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

Premium fuel for Mercedes-Benz

The Mercedes recommended fuel for the E280 is 91-octane regular unleaded, while the recommended fuel for the C180 Kompressor is 95- octane premium. While you can safely run the E280 on regular unleaded, and I suspect you could run the Kompressor on 91-ocatane, you will get better performance and economy by running them on the higher-octane fuel. Mercedes-Benz also approves the use of E10 ethanol blend fuel in both of your models, which might help you save a few pennies.
