Driving Range Diminished on W214 vs W213
I just realized that the driving range of the W214 is reduced by two factors vs W213.
1. The fuel tank is 17.4 gallons W214 vs 21.1 gallons W213
2. For the E450 the combined EPA is 25 mpg W214 vs 26 mpg W213- https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find...46055&id=47578
W213 has larger tank and better mileage.
That doesn't seem like progress and means more visits to the petrol station.

I'll still take the 2024 model over the 2023 and below. It's a nicer looking car and has more advanced tech. The decrease in fuel capacity is less important to me at least. YMMV.
