MPG in AMG
Hey everyone, I am going to Ocean Shores, WA on Sunday, June 22, 2003. It's about an hour and a half drive from Seattle and Portland. It's an all Euro car meet, and should be fun (hint hint, come!). Anyway, I was wondering what kind of gas mileage you normally get? In town I tend to get about 20, where on the freeway I can expect 24-25. Not bad for a 3600 lb V8 sedan! However, I do in fact have a C43. What do you all normally get? If you aren't sure, try going to OS this June in your AMG if you live in the Pacific Northwest and you will be able to find out!!!!!!!!!!!
Magazines and what not claim 18-22, but I get better... Do you get better than what is claimed for the CL55?

Not bad, considering you are quite heavier and have 349/493 hp!!! I guess with a car like that, you don't need to be concerned with MPG. I supposed I posted this thread as an excuse to get publicity for my Ocean Shores, WA meet in June. Nobody checks the Events/Gathering Forum. Well, thanks for your input!

I currently have 1600 miles on the car and average 16-17 mpg.
I am in a rural area but this is certainly not to be considered highway mileage. One other observation, the car definitely seems to be running better with more mileage. The engine does seem to loosen up. What a wonderful car!
