on the highway i'm getting like 16-18 mpg, but on the city it's like 15 on my 2000 ML430.
What's the supposed normal mileage for this car anyway?
BTW, i'm paying around $2.27/gal for premium in the DC area.

I get around 12-14 mpg. The overhead is usually a bit off. I've simply kept track of my mileage and divided it by the amount of fuel on fill-up. Upon dealer advice, this is the most accurate way, especially if you use the same grade and pump everytime. I'm not that disciplined, so I go to different stations. But the variation in vacuum cutoff can't be too significant.
