What fuel economy do you get from your E200 Kompressor, with the M271 Engine

I'm averaging between 13-15l/100km
Honestly don't feel like that is what the car should be delivering, but I'm not getting any error codes from my scanner (Delphi ds150e)

Am I expecting too much from this car or are my concerns valid ?

You should be getting much better MPG. At least 10-11/100km

How many miles are on your car?

You may look into getting a tune up.

I,e, replace air filter, spark plugs, MAP sensor, 02 sensors, fuel filter etc.

I would check for exhaust leaks(ticking noise), vacuum leaks, etc.

See if your scanner will check fuel trim

I got :
Normal drive in city 12-12.5l/100 km
Out of town on highway with speed 110-120 km/hr ---> 7.5l/100 km
Super heavy traffic jam ----> 25l/100 km

It's a 2006 (Facelift), 168 000km's on the clock

I havent had a chance to check out absolutely everything thoroughly, one thing that has caught my attention so far is I did have a look at the fuel trim and from what I understand it looks well outside of what is considered to be reasonable

Did you own the car from new ? or did you purchase it used ?

I'm the 3rd and got the car last two years with odo.68k km. and it's now 96k km. Love my wagon.

If I look at other M271 engine mercedes I see much more appropriate fuel economy

When I was checking the fuel trim, I had the car idling for 10 minutes and the fuel economy went through the roof

Wow this was the new high. My last Friday with raining and super heavy traffic jam in Bangkok was abt 25.3l/100km.

Hi,
I have a w204 C200 Kompressor, so lesser in weight but same engine. The fuel average I receive is 15-17L/100 kms.
What can be done to improve? The gearshifts for all gears happen at 2000 rpm. Is this normal ?
