whats the real hw mpg on e250 bt?
I am planning on a new car after a decade of owning a C class. I see that e250bt 4matic gets epa estimate of 42 hw mpg and I often hear diesel cars often beat estimates.
I plan to make long trips with this vehicle(1 passenger/light load). Generally 100 or so miles stretches at around 75-80 m/h. What can I expect from this car? if its not almost always over 42 mps on hw then its not worth giving up the power I get from e550 (26 hw mpg)
in other words I can trade thrill for fuel economy but if it is significant as I have explained above.
I am looking at fully loaded so pricewise they are not far off.
any help is appreciated. thanks

E 250
From my trip report last week:

That trip included some city driving and some pretty high mountain passes along with some 80+ mph stretches (Utah has an 80 mph limit on I-80 west of SLC).
We bought the car with the intention of lots of road trips (so far Germany/Austria, Ohio-Florida, and Ohio-Oregon/California). I enjoy the car a lot...

Trip mileage was 6066 miles, 98 hours of driving, average mpg 38.6, average speed 62 mpg (first photo).
On one stretch across I-40 in New Mexico my son drove 64 miles at 80 mph and got 48 mpg (second photo).
