C's, what mpg u getting or miles/tank?
Just wondering if your are getting the stated mpg on sticker when you bought the car. According to KBB here is the following:
1. 05 C230.....23/32 mpg with 189hp (Manual transmission)
2. 05 C240.....19/25 mpg with 168hp (Auto transmission)
3. 05 C320.....19/26 mpg with 215hp (Auto transmission)
I'm figuring 16 gallon tank minus 2 gallon (reserve, the low gas indicator lights up?) = about 14 gallon x (23+32/2, average of city/hwy??
) = 14 gallon x 27.5 mpg = free-aytee-fi (385)??
Who's getting over 300 miles to the tank?

I would show you that at one time I got 39.1MPG (or something close to this) on my C230 (~70mph), but it would make you all jealous. Then again it's stored on a camera phone that I'll look for because of sheer amazement of the moment (look at my mods). But normally, lol, I get around 27city, mid30s freeway? I get close to 400 a tank, almost 100/quarter.
Yeah I know, cry snake oil, but all good to me (as long as I don't WOT the tank away, which some of my buddies think I do all day, haha).

With the exaggerated gas prices lately, this was what I was hoping to find, a luxury car with good mileage ,and it sounds like the C230 K is the way to go...plenty of power and awesome gas mileage! And the looks....
(Does the C get pretty bad mileage like all the cars when u have the a/c on?)

I know my C is older than most of yours, but I get on average 27-28mpg on the tank. I have an '02 with the 2.3l engine. On the highway I get 31-32, but the tank average is usually 27-28 and I am happy with that.

04 C230K-ss
well I would think that even though I have an 04, it wouldnt be much different. Now I commute to and from college every day- roughly 12mi. round trip....then another 10 to and from my work not including other errands and odds & ends I need to do and with just that city and commuting I average 23 mpg. Now when I do get on the freeway or PCH at a nice set speed I get up to 28/29 mpg. Lately I fill up the whole 14 gallons at or around 330 miles to the tank. Which is nice since I have an aftermarket exhaust, YET i get better gas mileage around city from it however I loose like 2-4 mpg on the highway from it. So 330mi. average for me??

premium petrol (98RON): 5,16€
high premium petrol (100RON): 5,39€

premium diesel: 4,16€
I'm using premium diesel and one time I did 590 miles with one tank!!!
I'm getting 36,18mpg on highway and of course its a CDI

I've got the M271 (1.8L Supercharged) engine on my '04.5 SS and my gas mileage all depends on how much I use my car and if I'm on the freeway or just side streets.
If I only drive to and from work M-F and no weekend driving, that means I'm getting ~19 miles per gallon and a total of 270 miles per tank, which will also last me 2 weeks (7 days), usually on the dot.
If I mix it up between some freeway driving and some side street driving, I get around 300 miles per tank (21 miles per gallon)...Although, this usually means I'll be gasing up sooner than the 2 weeks for purely commuting to and from work.
If I go on a long trip with mostly freeway driving, I usually get close to if not over the 400 miles per tank range. Just for frame of reference, I've driven to Vegas a couple times from LA and on both trips, I made it there with a little over 1/4 tank. Vegas is ~330 miles away from Los Angeles.
Two weekends ago, I drove to Lake Elsinore and San Diego on one tank and after filling up in San Diego (for the trip home), the gas lasted me 6 days (commuting to and from work and a little more freeway driving). I got 395 miles on that tank.
So really, it all depends. All-in-all, I'm very satisfied with the amount of mileage this car gives me on one tank (especially the way gas prices are here in LA).

I get about 25-27mpg and that's a mix of city/hwy for my '05 SS. With gas continuing to rise, I'm pretty happy with the gas mileage I get. I don't notice much difference with the A/C on all the time. Just yesterday premium is up to 3.88/gal here. There's this big debate about this new gas cap law they started a few weeks ago.

My C320 gets about 23-24mpg on a 16 mile commute one way to work (front half city, second half highway). About 330-350 miles per tank. I used to fill-up once every two weeks.
On pure highway driving, 28mpg.
Not bad for 215hp

2005 C230K Sport Sedan in Brilliant Silver/Black
My car is still new, so I don't know if it's completely broken in, but I'm getting at least 300 miles per tank. It's a defnite good thing considering it took $50 to fill it up yesterday.. but I only need gas like once every two weeks because of 1) the mpg, and 2) I don't drive far to work. On the highway my mpg averages 31 (my car has only really been on two long highway road trips) and in town about 25 mpg.

furthest i have gone on one tank is 460 miles... San Mateo to Oceanside... Used the Distance screen to calculate when i was OUT. that trip i averaged 29.4 mpg.
Also, i ran the tank so low that the Distance screen was - - - - and then the car "beeped" then the low fuel light turned off and the needle dropped to '0' like i turned the car off. Command said i still had 7.8 miles to the nearest refilling station and i made it.
Downfall of Command's distance till destination combined with Distance till empty screen!!!!
