Just curious, haven't filled the tank yet but was curious what you all get out there.

If you wouldn't mind, please state if R350/ 500/ Diesel etc...

Thanks for your participation.

R350 with Exxon 93 gas, running 235/65/R17 Conti CrossContact LX.

With Thule bars and deflector, 22 mpg at 73 odo mph (70 satellite mph); 24 mpg at 67 odo mph (65 sat. mph).

Used to be 24 mpg at 73 odo mph w/o Thule.

AMG C36, 2010 R350 BlueTEC 4-Matic
2010 R350 BlueTec 10.9L/100km over the 700-ish km since delivery.

Factory roof rack with large ski/snowboard carrier.

I just did the math and apparently I'm getting about 21.5 miles to the US Gallon in the city.
That's 26 miles to the Imperial Gallon, for those so inclined.

2011 R350 BlueTec
If I keep my foot out of it, I'll get about 27 realistic MPG on the highway and 20 in the city with my diesel.

R350 24-26 mpg driving mainly highway miles. Actually got 28mpg on a long road trip once. Whats even more interesting is the R350 getting nearly the same mpg as the Bluetec's.

2006 R350


I just went on a 3700 mile trip for the holiday. My R350 was great. We got around 16-17 in the city and 19-21 on the highway. If I was gentle between 70-75mph I could get 21-22. In this picture, I got 436 miles on a single tank of gas. I think I still had a gallon of gas left. :-)

2007 R63 w/265-50R20 Michelin Latitude Tour HP's and 48,000 miles

About 12.5-13 mpg City and 17-17.5 mpg Hwy

These numbers are about 2-3% low because of speedo error due to the "taller" Michelin tires that replaced the stock 265-45R20 tires.

R500 -06 & Corvette -98 Indy PC
R500, Michelin Diamaris 255/55/19 front, 285/45/19 rear
About 16 MPG commuting (7 miles freeway + 2 miles city)
Max 21.5 MPG highway when driving very gently.
And when playing with all the horses (launches from traffic lights with paddle shifters etc.) it's easily somewhere around 10-12 MPG
