Gas mileage for me is upper 16's around town. On the open highway I can get 21-22 (even at 80mph).
Maintenance on these cars is very reasonable (providing you find a car that is well maintained and without too many miles on it). There is a thread on here where guys have listed the maintenance they have done on their C55's and it is surprisingly minimal. Try to search this forum - you'll be amazed.
Tires are the biggest thing - you'll go through the stock tires every 12K miles or so. Other than that, change the oil every 5-6K miles and follow the other recommended service items per the manual (all of which are pretty minimal) and you'll be fine.
Good luck.
