E350 Bluetec owners, what are the mpg numbers are you getting?

AKnight55

Ive driven my dads quite a bit. Highest ive got highway was 47. Id say you can average 36-38 combined. This is a 4matic.

Nuru

Thanks I have been hearing some very good numbers for the car.

On a recent 800 km trip, including a long climb up through high mountain passes, my E250BT4M averaged 47 mpg (imp.), cruising between 120-140 kph. On more level stretches, the car easily attains 50+mpg (imp.) or 5.8 L/100.

Nuru

Thanks, if you can remember, what was your average speed? Seems like my S350 would get similar mileage using IMP gallons as the owners in Europe are reporting mpg numbers in the 40's.

We regularly get 5.0 L/100KM on our E250 4Matic driving 100km/hr on the highway. That would be 47 MPG (US). We've seen as low as 4.7 L/100km.

Nuru

That is using Imp gallons instead of US gallons, correct?

I have now owned my 2014 E250. Got just about a very enjoyable 40k miles on the car.


So far since the day I drove it off the lot in May 2014. My entire overall mileage is 40.154.


This has been figured out via pumped fuel amount and mileage, not via the onboard system.


I seen single day runs over 52mpg running around 68mph average on short runs of 100 miles or less via the onboard system. I seen short 500 mile trips running around 79mph (Utah - 80mph is legal ) around 48mpg via the onboard system.

Nuru

Wow, that is very good. I gotta take my car out for a long drive to see what it tops our at for mpg at speed.. I have gotten in the high 30s on the MPG on short runs (less than 150 miles).

looney100

No. U.S. Gallons.

Raymond Lee

50 plus miles per gallon is very common. I got as high as 52 MPG on freeway.

Nuru

ok

Nuru

Thanks Raymond

Just some photos I took of the computer mileage on a short trip (346 miles ave of 56mph commuting miles) and a daily commute (53 miles mostly interstate, part of one way run) Both taken at the same time this Spring.

Nuru

Thanks

BTW, Anyone know the top speed for these cars?

J.M.G.

As a wagon ~238 km/h (= 148 mph)

Nuru

Thanks, looks like the EURO models without the NA limit, are good for 240 km/h.

J.M.G.

Yes indeed. And please keep in mind, that the station wagon has a worse coefficient of drag than the sedan. Therefore the sedan might even get close to 245 or even 250 km/h.

Nuru

Yes, it definitely seems like it.

I hope to pick up an E250 in a few days. Has anyone Light swapped the wheels for a stagger setup? I know the mileage will drop, but I'm used to the look! 18's are my max size; my wife will drive it most of the time.

I was able to drive my E250 4Matic from Westmont il to Waco TX on a single tank of gas sorry diesel . We love this car..... too bad they are discontinuing this model here in US...

Thanks,
Joe.

we get about 27 to 30 mpg. the daily commute is 10 miles each way. Also lots and lots of 1 to 2 mile jaunts through out the day in both medium local and high way traffic up and down hills with no conscious effort to save gas. (basically, Mrs. MellonC drives this car. She either doesn't realize that cars can coast on downhill or feels uncomfortable not pressing either the gas or the brake while driving).

berti_00

do the e250's VS the e350s older models get diff mileage at all or pretty much kind of the same.
i drove from Vegas to Oregon with my 2012 e350 and i honestly dont think i put more than 100 bucks

josepgeorge

We had a 2012 E350 Bluetec and it was about 25 mpg average. Switching to E250 was big bonus I get 45 mpg average for the same daily commute with all wheel drive

SEC1939

Chicago to Cleveland Tuesday tail wind 53.5 MPG all the way
