Mercedes-Benz origins’ come from Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft’s 1901 Mercedes and Karl Benz’s 1886 Benz Patent-Motorwagen, which is widely regarded as the first internal combustion engine in a self-propelled automobile. The fuel was not gasoline, it was a much more volatile petroleum spirit with several names including migraine/grain/ligroin. This was used as a degreaser, spot remover, paint thinner, etc. and was so quick to burn or explode, that it was not stored inside. The slogan for the brand is “the best or nothing”.
