E250 20,000 mile update
Just passed 20,000 miles on my 2014 E250.
Quick update: issues to date? None
MPG: averaging a combined 36.9 MPG
Have managed as high as 45mpg on strickly highway trips. All pen and paper calculations, not using the trip computer.
Over 800 mile range.
Bottom line for me? It's the best commuter car I've ever owned.
Only nag? The fact that i can't set the Eco button to off by default.
See you at 30,000 miles.

Isn't that eco thing annoying. When you are about to park you step on the brake, engine shuts off, press park button, engine starts right away and then you shut off the car so the engine shuts off again Those geniuses at MB didn't think about that.

It is not perfect but it does not bother me anymore. I look at overall about the car and overall it is very nice. MPG, specially, is very surprising considering size of the car.

Nice to hear. I am over 18k and I will be at 20k shortly.
So far my only issue is/was with the fuel gauge and trip meter. I will have further info on that and at my 20k service with the dealer.
