CLK430 finally
greetings,
changed my 'old' clk320 to this one... after many tries for adding more power which failed (c32 supercharger and s500 engine), still totally stock with #1 pads in front only, lots of mods coming... i have searched alot to find a clk V8, in lebanon beirut its very hard to find a v8 Mercedes, i found 2 other clk430s and a clk 55 amg which all had salvage history, but thank god i came across mine which had a clean title!!!
btw how much city mpg do you guys/gals do?

. You really get 27mpg? Are you 4 cylinders or you are hybrid?

My computer said 22.7 (mpg) when I got back to MD. Top speed coming back was 110 on 95 in upper MD (dangerous po-po spot). A nice white 330i Beemer was rollin with me but i lost him in traffic *LOL*. Really nice meetin up with you. Now i need a can and stand at the traffic light and hit ppl up for cash when the light is red!

I've done it. Averaged about 70 MPH for 6+ hours coming back to SoCal from NoCal and got 28+ MPG.
70MPH is not babying it and over 400 miles makes for a good distance for averaging.
