MPG
I just drove from South Florida to Boone, North Carolina and back. Approximately 800 miles each way. I had the cruise control set on 80 MPH for most of the trip. I averaged 23.5 MPG. I'm not sure if this is what others are getting. I based it on the odometer and the gas pump. The MPG on the trip computer showed exactly the same MPG 23.5. I think the steady 80 MPH didn't help. Curious what others are getting.

I would say that is very good for the AMG 43. My GLE350 4MATIC doesn’t get more than 22mpg. Is your coupe 4MATIC?

I just noticed you have a 2018 GLE350. What mpg do you achieve on that vehicle?

Over that time, (36,000 miles) we have averaged 18.1, and our best was 20.1. The 20.1 was a trip, and we were doing 75-80 the whole time. I have generally noticed that the indicated mileage averages about 1.5MPG higher indicated than it does calculated...

The 2018 is my wife's car. We don't take it on long trips. (it's leased and always watching the miles). But we do get between 16 to 18 MPG. Most driving is half highway and half city.
