Miles to Empty on 2017 E300?

I just purchased my first MB and I am slowly learning how to use the features on my car. I miss seeing how many miles until my gas tank is empty on my Volvo. Does my E300 not have this feature? If it does I can't find out how to display it.

I have gone through the scroll and it does not come up. It shows gas consumption but not miles to empty.

If it is not showing up on th main screen I would take your E to your MB service center. The MTE screen should be available when you scroll up and down past the average MPG and driving efficiency screens.

I tried getting all the rings to glow. I was so close too. Two of the segments were full and one was really close. Then I said screw it and decided to drive normally

In my car I cant get it to glow when the wheel is in the center of the tachometer. It will glow when using the regular display and the ecowheel in the center information panel. Im also pleased to inform that with 5k on the odometer Im regularly getting 29 to 30 mpg hwy on the E43 if I keep it under 75mph. Outstanding!

T​​​​​​hat 4 in the 300 is amazing. Not only does it power the car well, its also very thrifty.

I tend to drive in manual mode. I am used to having a manual shift car and like the control of the paddle shifters on automatic cars. I like to play a game when I drive to avoid using the brakes whenever practical.

Driving style is everything when it comes to better mileage.
I'm getting 22 mpg in city stop and go driving with comfort mode. Auto stop/start is turned off. The 2 week old car has 80 miles on the odometer and has yet to be on a highway.

Agree fully. I often get 23-24 mpg on 80/20 (freeway/urban) driving on my full size supercharged Range Rover and am averaging 22.5 mpg on my S driving mostly suburban driving. The 600 on the otherhand gets 9 mpg regardless of freeway or stop and go city driving.

I understand driving styles make a huge impact, my e350 got better gas mileage then this one does. I never had to be easy on that one either. Filled that one up every two weeks or so and the e300 every 7 days or less. Same routes, same gas station

I think the E300 has a smaller fuel cell than the E350.

Give the engine time to break in a little bit more. When I first got the W213, I was getting 22-25 mpg and only as high as 28 mpg on the freeway/highway. I was going to bring it into my MB service department to see if there was a computer glitch (either in the trip computer or the actual engine programming). After 6,000 miles and using Eco as much as possible the fuel efficiency improved.

When I had the 2012 E350, I averaged 23.5 mpg over 20K miles. With the E300 when new, I was getting 24 mpg on average. Now, since I got the car the total average has increased to 27.5 mpg.

I accounted for that aswell, Im close to 7k miles, will watch how much it will improve from now. Does your engine sometimes have a rough idle?

The city is a roughly 65 mile trip for me. My driving is mostly rural -- 85 hwy - 15 city. According to Fuelly I'm just under 31 mpg lifetime.
