new records: 725 miles on a tank and 37.6 mpg on the same tank
a long run, Hartford to Toronto to Montreal.
70 mph the whole way. Some city driving around Toronto, but 95% highway.
Diesel in Canada was CAD1.328 per liter, which translates to US$4.82 gallon.
She took 19.3 gallons, the gas light had come on. I was hoping for 800 miles on the tank, but the city driving killed that idea.
Still, dang that's awesome mileage for a 4000 pound luxury car with 400 pounds of torque!

Just looked it up, your big boy has a larger tank:
Fuel Capacity
S-350 23.8
E-350 21.1
I can't wait to drive the new S class diesel. Also have a call into the dealer for when they get an E-250 Diesel in Luxury

Yes, the S has about 2 more gallons, however, even allowing for that I still regularly exceed 700 mi/tank. My S also puts out an additional 30hp and 55 lb-ft more torque. I could probably have pushed that tank to over 800 miles, but, I am quite content with a 5100 lb. car that gets this kind of mileage.

For some reason, Mercedes charges a lot more for diesel than the gasser. Does not make much sense, since I know Audi charges the same rate for the diesel cars, at least with the prepay. Of course BMW has free maintenance until 50k miles and not sure how there diesel compares after that.
For example, At my dealer, I was quoted $1465 for prepaid maintenance on an E250 and $844 for an E350. No way it should be that much more.
Mercedes will claim adblue and fuel filter as the reason, but not agreeing with that when adblue is so cheap.
