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?

MPG will completely depend on who your gas supplier is. Every octane and gas is different from country to country, but I seem to get around 27 mpg in my CLK 430.

Tang....It seems to get lucky 20-21mpg high way/free way combined on my 3.2 . You really get 27mpg? Are you 4 cylinders or you are hybrid?

damn..i get 15-16 now..i cleaned my green filters and it doesnt seem like much of a change ...ne suggestions?

27 is great i am doing about 15-16, just can stop my right foot , i am thinking to clean the injectors and change the sparks because they are over due 20000 kms

Whodat

Hersh,
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!

Not bs at all. I've done it also, but it has to be 100% highway driven at 80km/h.

Highway crusing at 75mph, my CLK55 will return this mileage as well. Normal for me is 20mpg around town and 26 highway. Achieving 27mpg takes judicious use of the go-pedal.

ive gotten 26-27 n my 430 too, u just gotta be easy on the pedal on the highway and no constant accelerating and braking just a constant speed n ull get up there n mileage

CLKCLK

I just can't achive that number

Maybe 20mpg + 7 miles on a tow truck would make me run 27mpg

My 320 gets 24 mpg city and between 28 and 30 highway (30 on a long trip or really good day) no joke, average 24.4 on computer.

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.
