Trip computer gas mileage right?
Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but my one week old ML350 with 500 miles on it is delivering 20.2 MPG on the highway, and 18.9 commuting. Never heard of a brand new engine exceeding EPA estimates. Can the trip computer be correct? Anyone else have similar results? I am drving it carefully to break in the new engine, but still....

2006 ML350, silver, appearance pkg, ent. pkg, MR pkg, heated seats.
Mine (ML350) got 14 mostly city when new, and by 1000 miles had improved to about 16 mostly city. Definately seemed to get better as the miles increased. Also, trip computer seems to be accurate.
