I am getting about 320Miles out of my 2006 C230SS, comes to 21.5 MPG, wondering what everyone is getting at this time, NOT going by the guage in car but by receipts???

Thats to the low fuel light??? and AC on!!

I usually reset my trip meter so i'm somewhere between 325-350 city to all highway i get like 400-420 I think per tank .... Mine is a 6 spd 3.5L (C350) and only has 1500 miles. I hope it will get a little better when the motor is worn in (if there is such a thing).

You ready for a Houston run? I am thinking of getting PARKTRONIC ... Man it is expensive though

I dont work so always ready give me a week notice,,,,I so want the command do you love yours,my other two cars had stock navi....

I put an ECLIPSE AVN-5500 in my last truck, which I only loved more because it was touchscreen. I personally really like the Mercedes COMAND. The Eclipse only gave driving guidance through the driver door speaker, the COMAND does through the entire audio system, no big deal I guess...

Either way I need to talk with Steve some more about the I Pod integration and bluetooth... Everything else I am definitely in for except I am still unsure if I want to shell out the $ for Parktronic.

I also would love for him to do my headlights as living here I worry about deer, in fort lauderdale I worried i would hit drunks ...LOL

Ok so I just filled up the tank and we'll see how many miles I get from a full tank. My light had just clicked on with about 30 miles to spare. Here are the stats upon filling up:

Price paid: $39.02 @ $2.79/gal 93 octane
Gallons Taken: 13.94 gallons
Before moving the car it said I should get 405 miles..it started to go down quickly as I started to pull out of the station but we'll see how it compares with 405 mi. later this week, or whenever I need to fill up again...

I easily get 400+ miles out of a tank. I dog it a lot, but I have a M271 not the six.

I should come very close to the 405, however I will be mainly doing city mileage for this week...the only highway driving i should be doing is a 20 minute ride into Boston and back maybe a few times before the end of the upcoming weekend...so you could say even that is all city....but it seems I go a while without filling up...this is the first time I'll have kept track so we'll see, and yes, sometimes I cruise sometimes I whip...but as you may have seen...my whipping has left me with a ticket sat night

I keep very detailed gas transactions. Just look at the link in my sig for the Ethanol thread. I post my mileage figures and charts in Excel. I always use the calculated mileage figures and not what the computer says (Though, I have found the computer has pretty decent OVERALL accuracy. But, I have had times it was off by as much as 2 MPG, but the overall accuracy is -0.18. It is more accurate with Premium vs. Ethanol.)

To date:
2007 C230 2.5L V6 M272 engine. 13157 total miles.

Most driving is 75% freeway and 25% city. In my daily commute I climb over 1000ft in elevation. Overall average speed 41 MPH.

Lifetime average premium unleaded: 24.89 MPG
Lifetime average E85 (Ethanol): 19.13 MPG

Best (Premium): 28.41 MPG (Average speed 66 MPH)
Worst (Premium) 17.39 MPG (Average speed 21 MPH)

I noticed my mileage is slowly improving as the engine breaks in. Not sure if it will improve anymore than current.

Note: EPA ratings for this car are 19 city/ 25 highway. Which I get the highway figures in overall driving, so I am happy. Just wish I got the mileage figures of the M271.

Wow...you guys are really getting some very good mileage.
I drive an 06 C280 4Matic and every tank I only get about 200 to 220 miles.
On high way I get about 300 per tank though.

blown93lx

wow must be the AWD.... I am at 386 miles per tank right now and the computer thingy says "38 miles to empty" and the gas light is on. Mine is a 6 spd though

I've gotten the distance to empty screen to read over 700 miles before. Of course, that's probably an overestimate.

I'm referencing a 2005 C230 Kompressor Sport Sedan driving on a relatively flat highway with the cruise control on at 60 mph.

I filled up on the 24th, I haven't needed to get gas yet, but unfortunately my results are going to be innacurate/skewed because I did a lot of idling while at school using the AC, lol I still post my results when I'm empty, but I'll have to do it again...

I usually hit right around 320 when the gas light comes on. I got the same kind of milage when i had a 4 banger. So i guess mines is okay.
