Use 90 fuel instead of 95 E350e

[serenity]

Can I use 90 fuel instead of 95 on E350e?
Will it affect the engine adversely

What does your vehicle handbook recommend?

Are you talking about E5 and E10 petrol? DO A SEARCH ON HERE

Or 90 octane and 95 Octane?

Where can you buy 90 octane fuel ? not in the UK and some other countries don't have equivalent octane ratings to ours. Most countries use RON as the octane rating but some like the US use (RON+MON)/2. The US octane rating numbers are substantially lower than ours for this reason e.g. 90 octane in the US would be somewhere close to 95 octane in the UK.

It will be fine.

I don't have the manual do you know where I can download it?
Or you are referring to something other than the manual?

It will be fine.

What changes will I feel when driving or any engine issue will occur later on

So if you have both available, why not just use the correct fuel then?

There should be a sticker inside the fuel flap, it will have the tyre pressure figures on it, and it should also say '95 RON'.

In the handbook for the vehicle or the fuel filler flap.

Handbooks can often be found on line. Try searching.

Use the highest octane fuel available. i.e. 95. Altho the engine ECU will possibly adjust to compensate for the lower octane it will probably do this by retarding the ignition this will result in reduced power/MPG. Besides which modern direct injection systems operate to very fine clearances [ injectors/high pressure pump]and the higher octane fuels may contain additives to help with this. What does the local Mercedes concessionaire/ importer advise??
