with or without reset?

If I reset, while on the highway going 70 or so mph, I will average over 35mpg on my 50 mile trip to work. I don't usually re-set. I leave it for the whole tank. This would include around town, stop and go etc... and I average about 32mpg a tank. My highest highway mileage has been 39mpg. Keep in mind I am running E63 rims and my back tires are 275mm wide.

What is your per tank average for the CLS? this will give you more realistic information, I am quessing your per tank average won't top 22mpg. Not trying to insult you, so don't take it that way.

I just re-read your post and realized you WERE asking for ALL hwy MPG, so disregard the whole tank comments.
