Fuel Efficiency Question
For my 2000 ML430 (8 cylinders), I can only drive 13 miles per gallon in town and I am only driving 1 mile one way to work. When on highway, it goes up to 17-18 miles per gallon. Is this normal for this SUV? If not, what would you suggest I do to increase the fuel efficiency?
Thanks.
