Gas: Prem. vs. mid. vs. reg. by carolinabob

E350 gas calls for 91 octane. Here, the premium is 93 octane. What is the difference?
   Also, what are ramifications of using 89 octane mid-level instead of 91?
Thanks.

Hey nice deal, did you get navigation P1 package for that price?

You can use 89 octane (as I occasionally do) however there are two factors to bear in mind, according to the technical literature:
 
- lower fuel economy (I have not seen this)
- reduced power / performance (I have not seen this)
 
If you want to save a few $$ at the pump, try using 89 every other fill-up in between the 93 grade. I don't believe you (or your car) will see a difference!

Thanks, that's sort of what I planned to do. From what I have read, the only downside is a possible loss of some power.

2010 E-Class vs BMW 5 series by sambo49

My lease for a 2007 BMW 525xi is coming up shortly. I am interested in the 2011 5 series but meanwhile I have looked at the 2010-E class. I have mixed feelings about it. The front looks good, but the rear looks like a cut and paste job from a Hyundai. The interior looks classy, but the seats are low and just could not get a comfortable driving position like the 5 series. I tried a MB with leather seats, and felt it had better support than the vinyl seats. Does anyone out there share my opinion about the driver seating position?
 
The MB dealer is offering a very aggressive price. The MB may be a bit more refined, but the BMW 5 series offers a bettter balance between luxury, refinement and sportiness. I woud appreciate if current owners of the 2010 E class can share their observations after having driven it for a while.

I've had the the E350 4matic with sport package for 2 month now. Very happy with it. Very smooth and sporty. I highly recommend it. I also own a BMW x5, I think it has much softer steering than the X5 specially when maneuvering on low speeds.

jelmass - thank you for your reply. Do you find the driver seat position comfortable when driving over a couple of hours?
