EPA Revised Mileage Estimates...
Not that anyone would but a ML63 for its' economy, but it is interesting how the numbers are changing with the new test procedures. Hybrids have taken a huge hit (I'm convinced Toyota figured out early on how to "game" the system with the Prius). The ML63 goes from 12/16 to 11/14...

11/14 seems in-line with what people seem to be reporting.
Everyone knows what the old EPA test was .. and yes, you can fool their system by designing a car that has its optimal drag at 55mph on the freeway. That way you get awesome results, but most people drive at 70mph-85mph here in SoCal, it wouldn't be as good.
