I don't even have 1k on my car yet, but my first tank lasted me till 225, my second till 200, my third till 225, and my last one for 275. I haven't been driving rought at all, but I drive mostly in the city.

I'm convinced it's simply the city driving as I really only use it to get to work. My commute is pretty much 4 miles on the freeway, and 16 in the city (combined).

I have a CLK 200 K. The fuel consumption really depends on how you drive it. If I drive it aggresively, I will only get max 500 km range out of full tank (14 lt / 100 km). If I drive it like a good boy, I will get 550 -600 km (11-12 lt/100 km). If I am driving it on autobahn with lower speeds than 120 kmh (74 mph). I get around 700-800 km for full tank. If I am speeding around 140-150. I get around 600 km. If my average speed is faster than 170 kmh, I get less than 500 km/full tank of gas.
The lowest gas milage I have ever seen on my car is 6.1 lt/100 km.
Highest is 14 lt/ 100 km.
My car has 50000 km on it. I have tested it on all these speeds

I just added some carbon cleaner and some engine treatment, hope these would work. I have been driving the same, starting the 4th year of my car, the fuel economy went crazy. I would get 25L/100KM when i started the car....then it may go down to 15L/100km after few kilometers. It used to be much lower before, really don't know why.... or perhaps the engine oil sucks?
