Hi Steve is it the ML250 you have and do you use it for Towing,we've just picked our's up today funally enough,started treating it like a baby alreary 1.Lt bottle of Snake Oil namely Extralube ZX1 1/2 a bottle in the Engine and the other half in the Fuel Tank,then when ever we put diesel in it gets a good dose of 2.Stroke oil it does make the motors smoother and Quieter
Thank's for the Reply Steve Enjoy your Motor
Many Thank's Kevin

Hi Kev, yes it’s the ML250. I don’t use it for towing but the power curve seems like it would be great for that. I love it for long road trips where the 600+ miles per tank are very welcome.

Enjoy your new vehicle!

Hi Steve what do you reckon you can acheive regarding MPG on a run.i admit the engine does seem very pokey for the 4.Pot power unit in comparrison to the 6.cylinder

Here’s a pic from a trip last year. Mostly highway driving, and I wasn’t trying for maximum economy..

Not sure of the honesty of the display, and I didn’t keep fuel receipts etc, to really confirm. But I was happy with the numbers. And comfortable the whole trip!
