Which fuel options are available for Mercedes SL280?

There are a few questions you should ask yourself when deciding on a fuel type. Do you frequently drive within city limits or on broader highways and motorways? What's the average number of miles you drive weekly?

Electric, plug-in hybrid and petrol work well for short trips. If you drive long distances on a daily basis, an electric car is good - especially if you can charge at home or at work. If you have a daily commute over longer distances, a modern electric car can be a great choice - especially if you have access to charging at home or at work. Despite the rise of electric cars, diesel can still be useful for long journeys and lack of charging options. Note that there are countries where diesel engines with heavy emissions are forbidden from entering city areas.
