2000 S500
200 s500 20.5 mpg (over last 3k) mostly commuting 80 mi a day. Avg maybe 30 during the commute around D.C. Don't count on much more, cause I normally baby it unless I'm cutting people off.

So far in the city I am getting around 12-13 MPG on the highway it seems to get 19 or 20. I guess this is not to bad considering the weight (4600Lbs) and the performance (0-60 4.3) (1/4 12.5).

2006 SL55 with 030 Performance Package
PaulF1 How do you like your S600 I am thinking about buying a used S600 2003 or newer. How does it compare to the S500 how is the ride quality does it feel like a special car? Such a great deal right now its hard to pass up then get a New 2007 S600 once they work out all the first year blues. Any comments you can ad would be great
Thanks,
Thanks,

AMGBENZ, This is definately a special car only MB could balance the performance/comfort so well. The more time I spend in this car the more I love it. Check out this link to Car and Driver http://www.caranddriver.com/article....&page_number=1
Hope this helps.

2001 s500 Sport
Having driven my 01 S500 Sport for approx. 50,000 miles mostly in Indiana, my overall fuel economy is 19.0-19.5 mpg. This is approx a 50/50 combination of street and highway daily driving in all weather conditions. I do not baby this car.

2005 S500 4-Matic, 1978 450SL
My 2000 S500 got about 19.5 to 20 in combined highway/city driving, and 25 to 26 on the highway. My '05 S500 4-Matic gets about 1.5 mpg less in each case.

S500/W220/2000
15 city, 23 hwy--and I have a very light foot. But tend to leave the temp. setting on 70 all the time. Could that cause me to get this poor milage over the last six years. I keep car extremely well maintained, so that is not the issue. And I always run 91 or 92 octane gas. I drive mostly in city and the combined is 15.6--used to be 14.6, but seems to be improving.
