Have just returned from a trip to Melbourne.

Please see attached fuel figures.

10.47 hours driving averaging 96 km/hr

Fuel consumption of 5.3 L /100 km ( 53 mpg) ( Imperial)

When refueling there was still 7.4 litres left in the tank which would give a range of over 1170 km if using it all & nearly 12 hours driving.

I believe the latest MB diesel engine will do quite a bit better.

We are amazed that after 11.5 hours of driving that day how comfortable the seats are. Absolutely no aches or numb bums on our 64 year old frames. !!

The W 204 220CDI is a very comfortable,economical,safe & enjoyable car to drive over long distances.
