If you drive a Mercedes Benz, like the C300, it is suggested that you use premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 or higher. While it's not mandatory, it is highly recommended. The engines were made with premium fuel in mind, so opting for a lower octane gasoline could lead to issues for you, especially in the long run. While you might save money at the gas station, you could end up paying for repairs down the road. Lower octane gasoline significantly increases the chances of engine knocking in vehicles designed for higher octane ratings. In the short term, this may just be an annoyance. But once engine knocking starts, it can harm your engine components. Consistently using 87 or 89 octane fuel can eventually lead to damage and potentially engine failure.

    I own a 2012 C 300 that I purchased new. The service manager informed me that I could use regular or mid-grade gasoline, and I have done so without encountering any engine issues. I have now driven 95,000 miles in my car!
