so i got my car late last fall, so i didn't get to drive it much befor it went into storage for the winter....and since it was a new toy i was alway giving it....but now i am back driving it and i get about 300-350km city driving on a full tank.....is this the normal consumption for the 6.3L pig or is there something wrong with it?.

balthaser

it's totally fine for local driving

350 km a tank, which is around 14 mpg, that's actually not bad at all for this car

Jasonoff

That's actually around 12mpg

balthaser

usually at the pump, I fill the tank with around 16 gallons of gas

Should have bought a Prius.

Are you heavy on the gas pulling away from lights> and constant stop and go?

12mpg is pretty low.

I am getting around 16.2L/100km city and 401 driving in the C63... my slk 280 gets about 14.0L/100km all city driving... my jeep diesel powered by 3.0L turbo Mercedes engine gets 10.9 city driving.

If I am doing all highway driving with I went as low as 10.5L/100km in the C63

Jasonoff

That's not a full tank then

balthaser

Ok, ok. I'm not man enough to wait until I can fill a truly FULL tank


***,,,,just imagine how embarrassing it's gonna be to have your C63 stopped by the curb because it's out of gas.

300 - 350 kms sounds about right. Actually, 350 kms would be on the high side for me - keep in mind I do pretty much 95% city driving as I'm in the city core. I know you guys in TO do a fair bit of highway mileage.

And yes, I'm a bit of a leadfoot.

Jasonoff

Been there with the S2000 once. 16 years of driving and only that one time so not bad. Well... not including the race track

natman316

LOL.....That happened to me last week. although lucky it ran out when i was driving to the gas station, and i managed to coast right to the front of the gas station and people helped push me in

Merc63

I get 250km to a tank fml.

iKai

Me too!! never got 300 yet. I only do city driving though. Going to aim for 300 after my next fill up

balthaser

sigh, the man who designed or made the decision on the C63 tank should be hung up and whipped.

in most of the time, one tank would only last 200~220 miles before the warning signal lights up for me,
the best I can push on one tank of gas is 280 miles, most of which came from the high speed trip from Vegas back to LA

I'm averaging around 250 miles/tank. If it's strictly highway driving, I can average 20+ mpg. I got pretty close to 300 off of a tank when I drove it back from Vivid to NorCal.

aj20102009

something wrong with your AMG. Get rid of it asap.

I think it's pretty normal to get 350kms a tank on the pre-face lifted C63s.

I get an avg of 430km a tank on my 2012 (MCT)... The most I've gotten was 498... Then I rushed to the gas station because I didn't want ot push it any further in case I got stranded on the side of the road.

My 2012 averages 13.3 liters per 100 km. city driving.

gthal

How are you driving it?

Mine is currently at 19.3 L/100kms (100% M mode, city driving, heavy foot). You need to have more fun with your car

Harold1898

In C and still running it in. 1140 kms. Nearly there.

I get about 250-300km per tank. Mostly city driving and going up quite a few hills. It is so easy to ruin good a good consumption run though. I could be sitting at 15.x then stop in traffic for a few minutes or do one WOT pull and BAM instantly up to 19.

CoolBDPhenom03

I do A LOT of highway driving and I even got to experiment with mileage on the 12 hour drive from Phoenix to NorCal. I've found that the AMG is most fuel efficient above 75 mph. Probably 80-85 mph is really the sweet spot for speed and mpgs. Although 90 mph is a stunningly smooth and quiet ride.

In my experience, putting around at 65-70 in traffic will yield me around 16-17 mpgs. If I can average 80-85, I can actually be above 20 mpgs.

For the record, on my recently retired car, I logged 32k miles in 2011, 37k miles in 2010, and 25k miles in 2009.

You drive like a girl. That is the mileage that my wife gets in the C63 right now. I hardly got 300kms when I drove it.
