Is there anyway to check the mileage range (how much I can travel on the fuel I have left) on a '14 c63 AMG?

Yes, in the menu in the cluster that shows your Odometer / Trip computer, scroll up or down through that menu, until you get to "Range"

Just know that it's not much! I see you're in Dallas, so a word to the wise, NEVER fill at any Valero station. Their gas is absolute garbage. Did it once since it was all that was around and I lost over 10% fuel economy on mine.

I average about 200-230 per tank, and if I'm all highway (driving to San Antonio, Austin, Houston, etc...) I can push it to 330-350 if I'm nice.

It's not that accurate though. Once you get below 50 miles it starts to get iffy.
When your range shows about 15 miles left, it just shows an image of a vehicle at a gas station.

BMW's tank range is a lot more accurate.

I'm in no way affiliated with Valero, but gotta take exception to that comment.

All the refineries make gasoline and it all goes into common pipelines and fills shared tankage at the distribution terminals. The trucks hauling to Valero pick up their loads from the same tankage that supplies Shell, Exxon and all the rest. The primary difference is the additives packages that get loaded into the tank trucks when they fill up with the gasoline. The additive packages provide things like detergents and corrosion protection. Detergents that keep your injectors and valves clean are a critical part of ensuring the long-term performance of your engine.

EPA has minimum detergent requirements for gasoline. About 10 years ago the top auto manufacturers decided that EPA's minimum was not good enough. They got together and defined a "Top Tier" standard for gasoline. About 30 gasoline brands in the US - including Valero - meet this standard (as do about half a dozen in Canada). See www.toptiergas.com

Unless you're buying cheap stuff from a fly-by-night discount gasoline station that buys the near-offspec dregs, you won't find any significant mileage difference between brands.

Interesting. I've had multiple people comment the same thing after filling with Valero and losing a significant amount of mileage in comparison to other stations. Oh well, there is a Shell and a few others right by me, so rarely am I stuck with Valero as my only option.
