    I am a new and proud owner of my MB 500 SL. Does anyone know if the fuel requires an additive prior to winter storage? I was trying to find ethanol-free gas but there is none to be had within 200 miles of where I live. Thanks!

    I remember the winter of 1991 to be deep snow (90-91) so I suggest that you should have garaged the car then. How do you plan on getting back to '91?
