I am getting around 16.2L/100km city and 401 driving in the C63... my slk 280 gets about 14.0L/100km all city driving... my jeep diesel powered by 3.0L turbo Mercedes engine gets 10.9 city driving.
If I am doing all highway driving with I went as low as 10.5L/100km in the C63

300 - 350 kms sounds about right. Actually, 350 kms would be on the high side for me - keep in mind I do pretty much 95% city driving as I'm in the city core. I know you guys in TO do a fair bit of highway mileage.
And yes, I'm a bit of a leadfoot.

in most of the time, one tank would only last 200~220 miles before the warning signal lights up for me,
the best I can push on one tank of gas is 280 miles, most of which came from the high speed trip from Vegas back to LA

I'm averaging around 250 miles/tank. If it's strictly highway driving, I can average 20+ mpg. I got pretty close to 300 off of a tank when I drove it back from Vivid to NorCal.

I think it's pretty normal to get 350kms a tank on the pre-face lifted C63s.
I get an avg of 430km a tank on my 2012 (MCT)... The most I've gotten was 498... Then I rushed to the gas station because I didn't want ot push it any further in case I got stranded on the side of the road.

I get about 250-300km per tank. Mostly city driving and going up quite a few hills. It is so easy to ruin good a good consumption run though. I could be sitting at 15.x then stop in traffic for a few minutes or do one WOT pull and BAM instantly up to 19.

I do A LOT of highway driving and I even got to experiment with mileage on the 12 hour drive from Phoenix to NorCal. I've found that the AMG is most fuel efficient above 75 mph. Probably 80-85 mph is really the sweet spot for speed and mpgs. Although 90 mph is a stunningly smooth and quiet ride.
In my experience, putting around at 65-70 in traffic will yield me around 16-17 mpgs. If I can average 80-85, I can actually be above 20 mpgs.
For the record, on my recently retired car, I logged 32k miles in 2011, 37k miles in 2010, and 25k miles in 2009.

That is the mileage that my wife gets in the C63 right now. I hardly got 300kms when I drove it.
