I have an 08 E550 .. city only, I get around 15-16 and I drive the car pretty hard.
Highway has been AMAZING .. I drove 120 miles all highway over the course of 2 days and got something like 26-28 mpg on average doing something like 75-85 mph driving the whole time. I posted the actual figures in another thread, so I'm telling them to you via memory, but the figures blew me away. Not really that surprising now that I think about it because you can drive the car at 75mph and its not even at 2000RPM.

2003 E500
I suddenly feel better about my E500.
19 average on twisty 2 lane roads to work daily (10-80mph changes frequently) with lots of hills.
24 highway @70-80
Goes downhill to ~20 quick when I hit speeds upwards of 90.
Of course, my wife just traded in her CLK430 for a '08 Focus
almost worth it now that I've seen it. 30's average mpg plus the sync stuff is pretty neat for only $400 more.

The true measurement is on the highway, if your highway is MPG is over 25 @ 70 MPH I think your E350 is OK. I think 17 is combine is good.

07 E320 Bluetec
It probably will but I only have statistics for my 70/30 highway/city from my daily 153 mile round trip to the office (which incidently has recently stopped due to end of my contract). I have seen other reports (on this forum) reporting upto 41mpg straight highway with pictures to prove it and an unconfirmed 50mpg report from an MA doctor who does 220mile daily round trip to his place of work.
