just wondering what's the norm...

I have a C350 my MPG city and high mix driving is about 13mpg.

justthinking

13mpg!? something is seriously wrong...my average mpg for the last couple thousand miles has been around 23.8mpg...

micropower99

C300 4Matic here with about 17-18mpg average

mikelin7

i am wondering about that too.. i have less than 500 miles on the car so far.. it reads about 13-15mpg on the dash.. and i calculated distance from the full tank of gas , it also confirms about 13mpg

C350, I commute about 10-15miles max a day and average highway+city driving with mostly city driving at 22mpg. I've got as high as 30mpg city+highway before driving only 20 miles. I was so proud I took a picture of it.

7k on the odometer. Purchased Oct 2007.

my S55 averages about 12 around town, you should be well above 13 with a mix of city and highway. Do you drive it like you stole it?

23.8 mpg with 9500 miles so far

Usually around town I average around 23-25 mpg.
I drove for a 4 hour trip last Sunday using cruise control set at about 65 mph and I averaged 29.2 mpg. I only stopped once for a break, otherwise steady driving.
This was the highest miles per gallon I have every seen yet, and I am extremely pleased, if only I could get my Sirius Sat radio to work properly!

I get about 23 mpg with 95% city driving.

'08 C300 4Matic. Is used as wife's daily driver and for our long trips. Have just over 25k miles. 25.9mpg for overall average.

2009 C350 getting about 23.8 MPG is mixed highway/local split with 16 mile one-way commute.

City stop and go mileage falls to about 18-19 MPG.

Long distance (US 95 to/from Florida-Pennsylvania) cruising at 80+ gets 27-28 MPG.

Overall, I am quite pleased with the mileage.

Egonvdv

7 liters on 100km // 1.85 gallon on 62.14 miles

i drive 70 km twice a day - 5 days a week

each way =
10km in the city & 60 km highway (speed limit 110 km/h)

my average speed is abt 60km

kaku

16 mpg with 90% city driving.

i wonder if maybe my foot's a lil' heavy

vic viper

Average ~34mpg, and I was using this converter: http://www.fadainc.com/mpg_100l.html

i really wish the US would move on to the metric system. we need to be in parity with the rest of the world..

C300Sport

At least we should measure mileage in gallons per hundred miles (GPM) vs. MPG...would make it much simpler to properly compare different vehicles.

22 MPG mix 50/50 freeway/streets. 29MPG straight freeway is my PR.

I think it has to do with your driving style; do you do a lot of stop and go?

Sportstick

Mine is just about identical

joshg1001

my overall (which i have never reset, now stands at 2200 miles) is at 18.6 but that is because i occasionally do highway driving. If it was only city, a lot of stop and go and hills in san francisco, its arround 15ish sometimes lower

i_am_amused

Why can't the rest of the world switch to the US system? Metric math is too easy, and kids in school won't be challenged!

C300Sport

Love that reverse logic...16ths, 32cds and 64ths make you think a lot more that nothing but 10ths...wow we should all be freaking math whizzes her in the States...

kegc350

With my C350 I get average 21-22 around town and 28-29 highway. I use only 93 octane gas without ethenol. Non-ethenol gas gives about 1.5-2 mpg more.

tw1nny03

I avearge 23mpg in mixed city and highway driving.

TammamB

I'm getting around 20 city and 25 hwy at 450 on ODO

I think it's the combo of your driving style/conditions plus the low low mileage

My car was at 15 for the first 250 miles

Should start increasing, esp after 1000 mile oil change (some people recommend 500m?) hopefully, anyway
Enjoy
