Amazing Fuel Consumption of E200K
Just had my 1st servicing around 10,000km, and my fuel consumption actually improved significantly! For the usual trip from my parents-in-law's place to mine, the onboard computer improved as follows:
Before: 8.2 litre/100 km = 12.1 km/litre
Now: 7.5 litre/100 km = 13.3 km/litre
This is amazing for a luxury sedan like the E Class carrying my full family load! The M271 engine is definitely very frugal

Seems like the US is the last holdout for the old English Kings measurements. I find myself using the metric system for most measurements since it is a lot easier to divide a number of millimeters by 2 than 7 13/16 inches.
I too have found an increase in mileage with my E320. At 10k miles, I recently took a 200 mile trip with the AC on and got 31 mpg.

I can think in litres and kilometers separately fairly well, but I'm still draw a blank when I see litres/km fuel consumption numbers, unless I do the math.
An E200K has a 1.8 litre (not 2.0 litre) four-cylinder engine and can be had with a manual transmission. A four-cylinder, 1.8 litre E-class is hard to imagine in North America, but it would make sense in a lot of urban environments.

Yep. Singapore's really an urban environment all round, and speed limit's pretty much at 90km/hr... an E200K is quite sufficient, although I would love to have the new E350!
