[Guest Kiske]

Hi, jus curious, what grade of petrol do u all pump for your slk?

RON98 or RON95?

Which is a more suitable grade for SLK? Would there be any problems using either grade? Whats the recommended?

read the manual... it should be indicated. but at the same time, dont spend 100-200K on a beautiful sports car, then stinge on the fuel... you know the old saying," you are what you eat..?"

if you have a heavy right foot... just go for the best..! :thumbsup:

Isn't it perfectly ok to just use ron 95 fuel if that's what the car manual states?

[Guest redhood]

Yah, I also think that 95 is optimal. Maybe higher RON may not give more power, like horse eat too much will grow fat. Man eat too well may kena gout! :tazzie:

[Guest Kiske]

i had pumped RON98.. but don't seem to have any difference. previously i've pumped 95 into my BMW and still is the same..

so im jus curious, so what do u guys pump into your mercedes?

[Guest angela]

used to be 95, den decided to treat it to 98.. never had the budget to treat it to v powder...

[Guest 9339]

Always on V's Power..........

but :offtopic: I not driving a SLK..... :yumyum:

[g8crasher]

Bone stock SLK RON95 can do no harm. :thumbsup:

[Guest JUN]

hmm i switch between 98 and v-power.. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Guest Raskie]

i used RON95 and no issue at all ... can save money too :yumyum:

[Guest SgLaKsa]

Maybe you should calculate the percentage difference in price and percentage difference in mileage of 95 and 98. I think the increase in mileage of 98 beats the difference in price, thus we might be using better fuel at lower price :thumbsup: For those already using 95, no harm comparing 98.
