28+ mpg ML350 gas

Hello All!
Just wanted to mention that I got 28.3 miles per gallon at a recent road trip! This was in pretty good road and weather conditions with mild luggage load in the rear. No towing obviously. I used to own a GL 450 (X164) and the first generation ML 320 (W163), each for many years and many family road trips (both of those have been handed down to other family members). Obviously, the W166 has a much more efficient engine with gasoline direct injection. Anyway, just thought I would share!

Hopefully others have gotten similar results. :-)

Drive east on interstate 80 through Wyoming. You'll see better than 28mpg at 80mph. Thing is, you'll make up for it when you come back.
