For those who have the E320 Inline 6. What is your miles to a tank on gas? I got about 351 when I hit the E with the light just lit up.

gmacosta

I get between 350 to 360 miles per tank. I average 19-20 MPG.

MBZ12

I've got a 2002 E320 V6 and get about 390 per tankful.

stemags

Grab a seat,cause I have the same car(except a few gadgets) and Im getting 410 to 425 @ 22mpg,mostly hiway.But when I drive normal I get much less,like 350-380 when I commute

Green E-300 DT

Now you understand why I drive a Diesel.

stemags

Diesel here is more than middle grade gas,,,been there,done that.

The Godfather

How the hell do you guys drive? lol. I get 300 miles. Then again, I do spirited driving. 80 on the freeway. Mostly do city driving.

stemags

So do I,,only once a week,and been averaging 43 mph on my 45 minute commutes.You must be hitting much traffic Doc.

Green E-300 DT

So it is here in quite a few stations, but . . .

It's the cents-per-mile that counts, and my last fill up netted me 7 cents per mile.
Given that most gasoline powered Mercedes Benzs must use premimum fuel, and in most stations 91 octane is priced higher than Diesel.
Remember, most of the time Diesel fuel is priced less than any of the three grades of gasoline. And when this mad pricing is through, I'll be running mine for only 5 cents per mile.

I get 350-380 and I have an E55. Of course that is normal driving with probably 60% highway. I'm surprised at the low numbers for the 6 cyls...unless the tank is not the same..but I believe they are all 21.1 gal for the W210??

E-Klasse

I get a little more than 400 mile to the tank full depending on how much I am on the freeway and what gas station I fill up at. I went on a road trip and averaged 80 MPH and got 25+ MPG. Mostly I get between 19 and 25 mpg with my inline 6. I have been averaging 21 MPG with my SLK320 with the V6.

my E430 rocket

those numbers are the only reason i want the 320...

me and my stoooooopid 230 MPT

hubert

Thats right E430 rocket, I have a e430 Kleemann and get 120miles if i drive hard and about 260miles normal driving.

stemags

You must be beatin that thing a little,no?

hubert

Sometimes

Whitey

Burnouts won't get you much mileage - gas or tires.......:p

Green E-300 DT

That's only about 6 MPG !

I couldn't do that poorly with my full race '95 Superchargered 383" SS Impala with 3.73 gears.
Even when at the drags, I'd average over 10 mpg.

What do you do, burn rubber at every stop?

MB Fanatic

LOL I get better gas mileage in the E55 when I drive like a mad man lol.

Anyways I get 28 on the E320. I do use cruise control though quite often. I have gotten 29.5 mpg when i was in Nevada going from Fallon to hawthorne nevada. Again I was using cruise control at 65 mph.

In my 97 e420, I get about 430 miles before the gas light comes on on highway. In city I am lucky to get around 360 miles before it reaches below the 1/4 mark. (I never let it run to a point where gas light turns on while in the city)

I am very happy with the gas mileage because I habitually drive calm and maybe once or twice in a month will "dog" it.

For city commutes, I have a 98 Civic that averages 31 MPG in city. Never taken it to highway because thats whatthe Merc is for. Tell you guys what! Not a bad drive either. MUCH better than Corollas and other gas savers.

Off course nothing beats the Eeeeeeeeeee

Whitey

Not really comparable but probably interesting to note that my tiny 98 (V6) 2.4l only gets, at best, a little over 273 miles (440km), 100% city cycle, with minimal a/c - thats with some mods that has improved fuel economy by 10-15% I believe my tank is 15.85 gallons (60liters), hence it equates to 17mpg. I thought a smaller engine is supposed to be more economical, even in the city - what gives?

michakaveli

Best I've gotten is 569 to the tank and the reserve light just came on.... Obviously that was all highway.

mobinakhtar

What gives is the fact that you are driving a very heavy car with a 2.4L engine. This in addition to the fact that you have fuel saving (power reducing) mods add to the fact that the small engine has to work harder to pull.

An interesting point, however is that if your tank is 15.85 gallons, you probably fill it when light comes on (at or around 14 Gallons consumption). That would translate to:

273/14 = 19.5 MPG ..... excellent.

If, however you are considering pumped fuel versus mileage then:

273/15.85 = 17.22 which is darn good for a 4 banger pulling a e-class chasis

Just for my info, what mods do you have in place to improve mileage economy? maybe my V8 can benefit from your ideas.

mobinakhtar

Gawd man! Your mileage SCREAMS "diesel!"

Whitey

Yep, slight flaw in the calculation - you're right, I should have divided by the amount of gas I fill up not the tank capacity. 19mpg sounds more correct.

However, I have to disagree with the part about the fuel savers being power reducing mods as they improve response/pickup and quicker torque peaking - the main reason why I had them in the first place. Altho many of these have been dubbed "gimmicks" or "scams" on the forums, I have personally tried them with notable improvements in fuel economy and response with each mod (abeit, without a formal dyno test). These include - Iridium sparks, K&N filter, larger and ligher pullies, DPS (Direct Power System) and a Turbojet (airflow enhancement turbine on the intake).

The more you pimp,,its harder to scrimp
