Mpg?

Have just hit the 1000 mlie mark and soon as it dries out in Chicago will see what we can do. Seems like the MPG is nowhere near that stated on the window. I'm at 13.2 MPG. Not complaining, just wondering what others are getting.

With only a little over 200 miles on the car I've been getting around 11-12 around town. But thats a lot of stop and go driving. I got around 18mpg on the highway on about a 30 mile drive.

With my 2001 CL55 I averaged about 19 - 20 Mpg. So far with the 2003 CL55 I have aceraged about 16 - 17 mpg. My 2001 started getting better gas milage around the 5000 mile mark. We will soon see if this holds true to the 2003 as well.

I would not worry about it too much, even at 1000 miles, the engine is not as loose as it is going to get. You should notice improved mileage with time.

E55
I am getting around 13MPG out of my 2003 CL55. My 2000 E55 had a huge improvement in fuel economy after 15,000 miles. I was getting like 25 to 26 MPG on the highway, mostly over 80mph. It seemed to me that the motor took forever to break in. I wonder if that is a consequence of the car shipping with synthetic oil.
