There were 4 different engines offered and a choice of rear wheel drive and AWD in the E-Class, you can’t put premium gasoline in the one rated at 27 city/37 highway, that one is a diesel and the revised ratings are 23 city/33 highway.

The best gasoline powered E-Class rating is 18 city/26 highway, all gasoline powered E-Class cars use premium gasoline.
