Highway MPG
I just drove to Ocean City....first "long" trip in my CLK. I reset the MPG computer once I was up to cruising speed (avg 62 mph). After an hour of steady driving and 60+ miles, I was averaging 26.8 mpg. I couldnt believe it....Overall I averaged about 22.5 mpg (a few red lights, traffic and tolls did me in)....but damn....thats not bad for a V8!

I love the highway perfomance of my 430. I drove NYC -Detroit last month and averaged 28-29mpg

To me, there is no such thing as OC NJ.....its always OC Maryland.
I didnt keep track of the distance really, but it took me about 3 hours. I usually cut through DE using 404.....usually a lot less traffic....and usually at least 15 minutes quicker.

Chappy,
I have no clue how you average 27-28 on the highway and 20 in the city. I have a 2002 CLK55 that averages 23 when I baby it on the highway and 14 in the city. Granted I live in SF where there is a stop light or stop sign at the end of every block. What the secret or is it just my foot???
