"The launch of the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class coupe sees the introduction of Benz's first four-cylinder gasoline engine with direct injection. The turbocharged 1.8-liter unit, part of an across-the-board downsizing program, produces 204 horsepower and will be used in a base E250 CGI coupe model. We've been told, though, by a Mercedes-Benz official that the company's direct-injected gasoline engines will not come to the U.S. at launch due to our lower-octane fuel."

Mercedes is smart- no HPFP issues for them.
