1400 roadtrip and cruise control on 02 S55

hi guys,

just completed a 1400 mile spring break trip from SF to San Diego and back.
mostly blended driving and got 20 mpg, probably averaging 75-80 mph on hwy 5.

a few questions:
1) what are the supercharged S55's getting on hwy and long trips?
i'm getting only about 14-15 mpg blended around town, and 20mpg is only on long trips.
2) do any of you guys complain about the seat/headrest? all the gadgets are there including pulsating, heat/cool, etc... but i swear my 2000 E320 wagon's seats might be more comfy. in addition, i think the flat/non-angling head rests SUCK, esp if i'm the passenger and want to nap.
3) has anyone ever had the cruise control go out? i know the distronic sensor needs to be cleaned on the front, but anything else to cause the cruise not to work?

thx in advance for everyone's input.

Well i just picked up a 03 S55 with the supercharger and I got almost 22 MPG from Penn to Maine. Mostly highway but also got stuck in NY city traffic for some time.

I averaged 18 MPG over several thousand miles of mixed driving in my 03 s55 and 22-23 on the highway is about normal for me.
