I have had the E350 BlueTec for about 3 weeks and I absolutely love this car. I have 1200 miles so far and I average 30 mpg city and 42 highway and this car is not even broke in yet. I have always owned mb. Only down side I can see so far is that the car has run flat tires as the ad blue tank is located where the spare tire would be. I have never had the run flats before but cannot tell any difference in the ride.

Thats impressive mpg though. I tend to average 27 with my 335 and almost 30 with my 300SD. I wish these Bluetecs were out last year when I needed a new car. They are more the size of what I need, thinking about going and looking at one in upcoming weeks although don't see me being able to buy one until next year.

So I've had the E350 BlueTEC for a couple of weeks and I'm really liking it. I traded in a Lexus ES350, and while that was a nice car it evoked no passion to drive. I now look forward to every opportunity to drive (I carpool so don't have to drive every day). The few times I've gotten on the accelerator have been impressive in that there was no loud downshift, no jerking nor hesitation, just a waaay to easy 55-90mph jump in one case and a complete stomping of another vehicle on a two lane highway entrance ramp. My commute is 35 miles each way of mostly highway with moderate congestion and each trip usually registers around 31 mpg. I've only filled the tank once and that was right around 460 miles on the odometer with a 60 mile estimated range at the time.
My one disappointment is that the night view doesn't have a wide enough angle to show all the deer that may be lurking on the side of the road but I pretty much suspected it was a gimmick that wouldn't get much use anyway.
