Mercedes w211 2007
![Question](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hello Everybody. I have a 2007 E200 kompressor that also runs on CNG (Compressed Natural Gas). This is a factory standard system (option 924 NATURAL GAS DRIVE). The CNG tanks can hold 18kgs of compressed gas and I should be able to get about 300km's out of it. This is written in every possible review. However no matter what I do, I get 245km max out of a full tank, even when driving like a granny. I only get 300km when it's highway kilometers only. I have checked for leakages and found none. The car runs great.
I was wondering, are there members here with the same car (the w211 CNG's are all the same) that do get the promised 300km's on a full tank? If not, how much then?
Thanks a lot for answering. Greetings from Holland,
Marius

So, if you get 300 km range on a highway, I don't see any problem. Usually you get the best mileage on highway driving when you can keep constant speed and there is no stop and go driving.

Normally I would think the same. However a friend of mine has the W212 NGT version. Same engine and transmission but a larger gas tank that holds 19,5kg and he gets 350-370km on a full tank. And I read a review that the w211 could get 300km's on 15,9kg of gas. So that's why I think there's maybe something wrong with my car.
And that's why I would want more real life information from real owners
