2002 Mercedes Benz C230 Coupe
I have an automatic coupe and average about 12-13 l/100km urban, 8-9l/100km highway.
My girlfriend has a manual coupe which averages about 10-11l/100km urban and 8-9l/100km highway.
if you have an automatic, what youre getting is average - good.

'16 E350, gone: '03 c230k
'03 sedan w/automatic here. Over the past 10K miles, I've averaged a solid 22+ mpg in small town driving (i.e. a lot of stop and go), so 22/235.2=10.7. If I keep it to ~70mph on the highway I always get over 30 mpg (7.85 liters/100km). I drive with it in 'S' mode, as I'm a believer in coasting to the stop signs/lights and it rolls "free'er" with your foot off the gas - in 'W' mode the tranny will grab as you slow down w/foot off the gas. Also, the manual tranny's seem to get a couple more mpg based on the reports I've seen here.
c230 w/m271 is 1.8L supercharged, right around 190 hp/ft-lbs (forget the conversion to KW/Nm at the moment). I will most likely never mod the engine/exhaust just because of the fuel economy this car gets...

M111 = 192hp 200tq
M271 = 189hp 192tq
I don't know the conversions but my car gets 25 mpg average in mixed driving consistently. Every single tank lands somewhere in the 25.1-25.9 range. On a long highway trip recently with 5 adults and speeds of 85-95mph cruise the car averaged 26.2. On a trip to FL with 5 adults in June and 95F weather and 85mph cruise the car averaged 27.4mpg. On a trip to SC in August, 70-80mph cruise, the car averaged 30.1mpg.
Hope this helps.. someone can do the converting.
