The 2012 ML350 is the real deal:
Took a drive tonight for some late night shopping to avoid the traffic...and the ML had it's best night ever! This BlueEFFIECIENCY is a beast! It is very much breaking in...I know its not saving money - Its just interesting to see. I think the EPA needs to redo the ML.

As you can see my avg. is not doing that well (23.2), as my girl had it last week or about 200 miles. You can also see I don't do very much highway or interstate - my avg. mph is only 28.
By the time I got home my Avg. mpg was 24. And my "From Start mpg was 27.5" - I think I could make it to 28 mpg if I had more time.

In the United States the BlueTec is rated at 25 mpg highway.
Personally, I am only concerned about my averages. Hitting a high number on the highway every now and then doesn't excite me. I can take my foot off the pedal and get 500 mpg.
The number in the above pictures was my average. I just filled up 30 mins ago today and my average over the life of 22.0 (Used) US gallons was 25.1 mpg. I went a total of 621 miles and I had 2.6 gallons left in my tank. It was a combination of 70% highway and 30% city approx. With an average speed of 43 mph.
If you are waiting on a BlueTec I would expect you to get better mpg overall.
Obviously, I am not driving like a bat outta hell, I am being easy on the pedal. I am usually not in a rush to get to place to place. What ever the speed limit is posted I usually travel at the regulated speed. Nothing more nothing less.
