My E350 gets significantly better gas mileage than that in Eco, and Sports mode. Spirited driving gets me around 18mpg, and I usually get around 24. If I'm on the highway then I've gotten up to 30 mpg (7l/100km)

So time for spark plugs and maybe spark coils… either that or i need to enable full manual mode and take it for a good rip roaring spin and maybe it will get better.
has anyone had any other potential maintenance items to chase on that?
thanks

.If mileage was my main concern I would buy a diesel car

Essentially the same engine in my C320 turns 2600 rpm in exactly the same conditions, barely cracking 31 mpg. I think it's all in the gearing, 5-spd in the W203 vs 7-spd in the W212.

1 - Miles on the air filter, spark plugs ?
2 - Check for codes related to the engine
3 - Reset the tranny, and retrain it?
4 - Coils should trigger codes (not necessarily cluster messages) when they have issues.
Mine has @70K+ miles, spark plugs/air filter/tranny+engine oil @60K, no codes, no leaks around the engine and the mileage is between 22->30MPG with some spirited driving here and there (S when alone, E with company).
