YOU IDIOT! This is not about free service for driver error! This is about Mercedes corporate guaranteeing several free items. 5 gallons of fuel, a free jump start, free roadside battery replacement (you pay for the battery). This is purely as a "thank you" for being a loyal MBZ owner. You totally missed the whole point of his post!!!! Think on that for a while.

You should be fined on an hourly basis for creating *UNNECESSARY LOSS* because of your poor judgement. There is *absolutely no* reason for running out of fuel other than negligence and stupidity on the drivers side. *NONE*. Imagine airplane pilots just running out of fuel due to things "...no all of which were my fault" *MORON*. On top of that he expects Mercedes to bail him out of this situation for *FREE?* This guy needs to wake up and smell the fresh coffee, if Mercedes is willing to help out, than fine, but if they don't, who the hell is he complaining? There are no free rides! Both the tow company and Mercedes Benz are in the business to make money. What an F'ing loser! I don't know where he's from, but around here if you want a service, you have to pay for it, that's what AAA is for, you pay and they *have to* tow. I suspect this is the type of person who goes to McDonald's and takes back food because it isn't 3 minutes fresh or is on welfare. I have to admit, I myself ran out of gas once but I do acknowledge that it was 100% my fault and would have never expected for someone to bail me out of it for free or complain about someone who didn't do it for free.
