micropower99

your GAY

Devastator187

I don't understand how that would make him a homosexual?

AMGTTV8

YOU'RE GAY - if you can't even spell, why waste your time putting someone down?

And in any event, I don't even see why that is necessary - it's absolutely amazing that he was achieving that kind of mileage.

You ****ing homo

AMGTTV8

that's awesome man! thanks for sharing - keep up the good work!

also, manual or automatic transmission?

micropower99

Your a fu*cking clown

Norm01

This is the same guy who posted stupid remarks in one of my posts, honestly get a life or leave the board. Some of us are interested in MPG reports.

ulovemybenzo

45 mpg ??? god damn

Ron Jr

I assume it is a diesel.

Krytech

That what I was thinking. 45mpg would be nice! Is that average for you or were you babying the gas and riding a drift the whole way?

He has been quite the thread crapper lately. Maybe he's trying to get his post count up...

C43AMG

Sorry , I don't want to drive anything that gets 45 mpg , not fun enough.

who8888

Up to what? He already is a Fanatic and beside there is no room for that kind of here...

AMGTTV8

I'll tell you what Canuck, I'd rather be a clown than be ignorant.

Once again, it's spelled YOU'RE not YOUR.

Some people have nothing to contribute to society.

RLE

It is a diesel and he's using Imperial gallons.

C300Sport

Diesels are pretty sweet. I am in Germany/Czech Republic for a couple weeks schleping around in a Volvo XC60 Diesel...they didn't have my A Class available...and damn the parking is tight. I have driven 580KM running about 150-180KMH on most of the Autoban and creeping around in lots of traffic in Prague and I still have well over a quarter tank. Not to shabby considering the diesel provides great pickup to get around traffic at speed and is really hard to beat around town.

HI guys

C220 cdi diesel. I do about 30k mile every year so because of the price of fuel I have to have an oil burner. I've had my share of faster things - imprezza sti and the like. My c220 is chiped to 200bhp and though no rocket ship has a handy turn of speed. This trip was a real mixture of driving - motorways, back roads and some town driving in q's and I wasn't really that light on the right pedal. Since my last service the car has averaged 42.6 - 10k miles ago.

Sad I know that I'm talking about MPG - I used to talk about MPH and 0-60 times - I must be getting old - but not homosexual!!

Carsy

Old Lefty, You must be a leadfoot to have figures like that in a 220 CDI Auto. In a mixture of town & country driving I average 47 mpg( 6 litres/100km) The other day we drove 110 km to town & back, mostly country driving & arrived home with figures of 5.1 L /100 km. ie 55 MPG ( imperial). Freeway driving at 110 km /hr 5.3 l/100km( 53.2MPG ) is readily achievable . Old John.

Micropower 99 has had too much to drink again ?. He can make sensible statements when he is not stoned.

AMGTTV8

It's not sad - this is what we are here to discuss

hutch300

I'm making the drive down to San Diego in 10 days so I wish Icould get 45mpg, I'm hoping for 27-30!!! We'll see!

AMGTTV8

yeah, im not that impressed with the figures - i wish they had used shorter gears for 5 and 6th because 7th is way too tall and is almost the same as 6th - give it a little more highway pep!

Ron Jr

Me also I have a 600 mile round trip next weekend and that would be nice. Hopefully the thruway will be clear.

MikTrebla09

Nice numbers!


also, remember, US Gallon != UK Gallon

Krytech

Correct.

one US gallon == .83 Imperial gallon || one Imperial gallon == 1.2 US gallons

So 45 mpg(imperial) == 37 mpg(US)

or something like that...
