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?)

I get almost 23 mpg driving around town, and on long interstate trips I get about 25 mpg.

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!

I get about 18mpg city and 20-22mpg. How the heck are you guys getting 25+???? I don't drive fast, atleast not too often, and when I'm driving back and forth to work, I baby the gas. Is there a secret???

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.

In downtown Chicago I was around 13-15. Out here in WA with mostly freeway driving I am around 23. This was all manual calculation. Trip computer max was maybe 24-24.5.
