GL320 gets over 20 in city driving and about 25 or 26 on the highway averaging 80 mph. Combined mileage is about 23.

I find that true mileage is better than what the onboard computer calculates...

I should check that as I'm relying on the OBC to calculate my mileage. (What can I say, I'm lazy.)

Averaging 16+ overall, about 19 on highway@ 80+mph. Keeping under 75 computer says 22-23mpg.

ML500
Is anybody towing with the GL. I've towing my race car with my ML500, and it's awesome, but it's time to upgrade. The towing capacity is pretty much the same, and more torque, but I like to hear from real owners.

As the miles have increased on my 450 (up to 5,000 now) my mileage has gotten better. Around town has been 15 - 16 and on the highway 19 - 20.
