MPG Update
So I found the little graphic that sits in the center between the set of larger "gauges" for speed and rpm that shows mpg in real time and has a white triangle marker for the trip average.
I applied the years of practice in my other car (Camry SE) towards driving the Mercedes to maximize city/highway mpg. Was very pleasantly surprised at the results and think it is due to several factors, the very low aerodynamic profile, driving in higher gears in comfort mode, and the engine shutting down at stop lights.
Highway - Did a 60 mile round trip, was able to get between 40-41 mpg while driving at or above speed limit, I noticed on other drives that were more aggressive I was hitting 35 mpg.
City - I live in one of the worst traffic areas in the country, still got in the high 20's.
