The 2015 Mercedes-Benz S550 Plug-in Hybrid
When an automotive writer or editor takes a car out on the German autobahn, they're usually looking to write something about blistering fast speeds. Writers recently got a chance to test drive the 2015 S550 Plug-in Hybrid and they enjoyed speeds that were far slower than normal. But they also enjoyed driving without using any gas, and a free massage.

I would consider it or the diesel if they're brought here in the US. I miss my Diesel engine economy and the 800+ mile range, even though the 449 hp 516 TQ S550 acceleration is cool, it doesn't do anything for my fuel economy or range.
In town driving for errands would be better with the S550 plug in hybrid.

It'll be interesting what the EPA rated mileage will be.
In Europe, the car has been rated at 84mpg.
Since it's a hybrid, this will vary based on the type of driving even though there is a fair amount of software programming built-in to optimize economy
