You mean the fuel tank size? a bit more than 17 gallons

SaphGreyC63

Not enough.

Mort

Haha...never enough

17.4 usgal according to the manual.

CoolBDPhenom03

I would say the manual capacity is right. I've stretched it out before and without completely running out of fuel, I was right around 17 gals.

Nice to know this forum is lightening up...I recall just a few months ago asking questions like this and getting flamed for not reading the manual. Lol.

AMG PWR

Read the manual!!! - sorry couldn't help myself :-)

norb

But the light goes off at 13. Which makes me fill up way to often!

USCGTO

I am yet to read the manual, but its 17.x

Found it by stroke of luck.,.

CoolBDPhenom03

Do tell.

When the light goes on, I have about 60 miles of driving left (roughly 15 mpg). If gas keeps going down, I'm prone to fill up before 1/4 tank.

USCGTO

I was driving back home when the light came on. So I thought I'll fill up when I get off the freeway. Unfortunately, I got stuck in bad traffic and still took my chances. Kept monitoring the range - which fluctuates a lot.

By the time I pulled over the needle was pretty much down to 0. And as I got the tankful, I filled some 17.1 gallons. So I am assuming I had maybe another 0.5 gallon at most.

hence, the 17.x number. 17.4 sounds totally believable.

CoolBDPhenom03

Nice work! That was super lucky. At that rate, 1/3 gal would've gotten you 6 more miles tops. Most likely 3 in traffic.

Btw, in my '09, when the range is less than 20 miles, the range disappears and is replaced with an icon that shows you really need fuel (car with a gas pump) which I think is annoying. I know the range is low. Why replace it with a useless icon so I can't tell what the range is anymore?

USCGTO

It's the same way in all my other mercs: 09 GL450 - 07 E550 - 07 CLK350. and the 2011 c63

The range shows the gas symbol when it drops below 25.

abcut973

Yep same on mine. Below 25 miles left i got this stupid icon!
When the light goes on I'm about 60-65 mls left.

Mort

If you push the back/return button does that icon go away? The button just below and to the right of the selector switch.

Guilty

Same problem here. Really stupid from mercedes to replace the mileage left by a refill icon.

CoolBDPhenom03

No, it's not like the "reserve fuel" notification. This icon stays and it's counter productive. I get that you're not supposed to rely on that gauge because it can fluctuate so much at such a low level, but to not be able to get rid of the icon is just silly.

VaclavSV

If the tank is 66L I was running on fumes today!

Guilty

Gas is expensive where you live hahaa

yazid

Just to share we you lot, over here in Brunei, petrol is BND 0.53 per litre (USD 0.424 per litre) flat rate. So I'd spend like BND 32-34 per fill up (USD 25.6-27.2).

Coming back to your question OP.. yeah 17 gallons is about right

VaclavSV

$1.42/L or ~$5.37/US Gal. Im from Toronto Canada.

C-63AMG

I don't know but I fill a tank a day. God damn so happy fuel is so cheap here in Dubai. 35 cents per liter for 98 ron

Karl901

C series 60 liters
E series 80 liters
S series 100 liters.

CoolBDPhenom03

Damn. I guess it can be cheap there because it's expensive everywhere else in the world.

Pickles

98 Octane...in Aus......$1.60+ per litre!
Cheers, Pickles.
