I'm around 30mpg give or take. I need to see what it will be after the full ecu reset and reprogram that is happening at benz as I sit here waiting to get it back tomorrow. I drive "reasonably" fast, usually accelerate faster than anyone else off of a light and end up leaving the pack on the freeway so I guess maybe 10 mph over posted limit with quick accelerations.
I figure I'd post better numbers with a driving style change, but I drive it the way it wants to be driven. I gotta do it on pen and pad though, my 99 doesn't give me that cool info screen. (would that cluster work at all in a 99?)

WTF? Marcus did you get that out of your 430? 
I manage to pull around 22-24 hwy mileage, around town it's 16-18 or so. But I'm with The Jury on this one, I drive it reasonably fast, I leave the pack behind, I don't like tail gaters or followers I like the road to myself. Everybody thinks the 430 gets bad gas cause it's a V8.
think again! They should get the 
on them!

For me it's the lack of traffic. Coming from northern California I averaged 70 MPH for six hours. I can get very low 20s if I'm stuck in stop and go.
