Your xenon bulbs are killing your mileage, lol. 
Seriously, I am able to get 25~26 mpg hwy doing 70 mostly on cruise consistently. Combined city/hwy about 22. Not bad for a 4Matic, 110kmiles still on original spark plugs soon to be replaced.
Cheers.

I have been getting about 19-20 average. For a tank filled to the cap I get 380 miles then the light goes on. I believe about 4-5 gallons are left from the light to completely empty.
Nonetheless, Its a Mercedes ! I did not buy it for fuel economy, I bought it for ride,comfort and style.

damn man...i dont see our cars using NOS, get a bimmer, especially a 3-Series or a M3, those are upgrade friendly, i just cant see a w210 with NOS, would be cool to see it though, i think maybe a 40-60 shot, depends on fuel mods,miles on the engine, all that..

Just how big are those fuel injectors... something out of a Freightliner? Seems to me that something is way off on your set up... I've got a Suburban 5.3 liter four-wheel drive that in city driving only does better than that. Take it out on the highway and it can top out at 18+ mpg.

That can't be right!!! I'm in LA and can understand traffic just as well. I'm getting 18-19 mpg on the highway on long drives and 13-14 mpg in traffic and I'm not driving Ms. Daisy!

If you don't go 100 shot you won't feel much. And even with a 100 shot you'd still be slow. In my opinion these cars need a minumum of 400+ hp to even be remotely quick next to today's cars.
Just my opinion.

I haven't the slightest idea of how much it could hold but I don't think I'd waste time/money/effort to do just a 40-60 shot. You'd hardley even notice it.
