I dunno... She might have gotten upset about all the mods for Jet's car and none on hers? No special scoop, no special intake, no Brabus...

Her's is the Brabus. Jet just likes to talk about it like it's his.

That link does not indicate that smartUSA higher-ups know of locations in the U.S. where premium is simply unavalable, and therefore they recommend routinely using regular. It does re-iterate what it says on pg. 316 of the U.S. OpMan (and quoted in post #13 of this thread).

Yes, Old smart, my apologies for not responding to that point.

The issue from the threads last summer (or thereabouts) mentioned availability issues in some regions of Mexico, not the US, though it appears much of Mexico has access to premium grades as well. When I parenthetically inluded the qualifier "in regions where higher grades simply aren't available" I was referring to regions globally, not regions in the US.

Unfortunately, Daimler AG, M-B Cars or smart GmbH don't provide any information to us in the U.S. on ROW operations for our greater perspective (they don't provide much information on anything). smartUSA can only address issues within our own borders.

[John_H]

But doesn't SmartUSA provide information for US purchasers traveling to Mexico? I seem to recall that was a concern in one of those earlier posts.

I feel a little like I'm being scrutinized for communicating information digested from old threads here on SCOA.

[Old smart]

In a way they have, by indicating what to do with a temporary non-availability. They say to take a small amount of regular, and top-off with premium as soon thereafter as possible. That is general corporate guidance throughout the M-B world, big and small.

One little nugget that we don't officially get in the U.S., and only by private research, is that in ROW, 95 RON or 85 MON is specified. By our North American averaging method, that equates to 90 (not 91) PON. smartUSA has actually contorted the original DAG/M-B/smart entering numbers to come up with 91 PON ((96+86)/2).

My ex-sister-in-law back in the 70's pumped a full tank of diesel in my borrowed Datsun 1200, thought the little green pump "looked cute". Got exactly 50 yards on residual gas.
