CLS550 gas mileage, what do you get?

I got 27.1 mpg last weekend over 150 miles or so. Not bad for a 5.5L V8.
Avg speed was 69 mph I think.

I find that hard to believe. Most I've ever gotten is 22. Show us a pic of your dash display.

I can believe that, my (CLS500) all time best was 26.0mpg during an even shorter trip, picture proves it. The mileage kept getting better and better as I drove at 60mph.
