my fills from about 15 miles to go on the computer run between $38 and $42 anywhere between 2.68 on the low end and 2.78 on the high end and usually takes about 14.5 gallons. Only use Top Tier rated fuel (Chevron, Exxon, Sunoco...) 91 octane or better, usually can only find 93.

also with Urban cycle driving expect about 18 mpg.
I drive 100 miles per day a mix of both interstate and major highway with stoplights and varying speeds.
I am getting about 300 miles out a a tank right now.

) have it easy. My S55 fill-ups are usually over $50, around 18 gal (19 if I am lame/lazy and go into the reserve), and my overall average is barely 16 mpg (80% light-medium rush highway miles). I fill up almost exclusively at ExxonMobil (my in-laws retired after a combined 55 years there). Current prices near me range from $2.81 
to $3.05 , and that's a bargain considering it's been near $4 within recent memory.

I got 380 miles on a tank 1 time but it was ALL freeway driving like a grandma (NO FUN). Then again I have the N/A 4.3 liter V8 so I am definitely smaller than the 5.4 BUT you should of known what you were getting into when you bought the S55 so you can't complain P.S. at the peak of the GASOLINE RAPING we saw prices around $4.30/gal but at the time I didn't have my AMG so I wasn't AS affected as I currently am.

On empty, expect ~16 gallons
Depending on your driving habits expect 15-19mpg for normal city/highway driving
Finally.. I personally only fill up at Shell & Chevron (i have used 76/mobil, but only in emergencys) PREMIUM

60 bucks to fill up my little sl55, living in Bakersfield, Ca with one of the highest deposits for oil in the U.S. and still one of the highest places for gas in the nation. Go figure?

C55 / S550 / Lexus IS300 (sold) / C63 (Sold) / SL500 (Sold) / Lambo Gallardo (RIP)
$3.59 right now here in LA. I remember when gas was $4.999(they get u with that extra 9) it had cost me $72 to fill my C300 w204 from empty. Crazy.
