I would appreciate it if a SL600 owner could tell me the approximate range they get on a full tank of gas - in general driving.

 

On my 98 SL600, I get about 250 miles. I do have abit of a lead foot. It averages 14mpg city and 18mpg hwy

 

about the same here 230-240 in town and about 20 hwy

 

250 in summer all city driving, 230ish all city winter driving. Recently took all highway trip, got 380+ on one tank. Bear in mind this is spirited driving.

 

Wow! I'm glad I got a 500. I get around 450 miles out of one gas tank. city and highway mixed.

 

The 500 offers more than enough power for day to day driving. In city driving, the performance difference is minimal. However, where the 600 shines is on the highway, where there is quite a noticeable difference in acceration. Everytime I question getting this car, I simply take a nice highway cruise.

Cheers!

 

R U sure the car wasn't on a traler ?

 

Are you sure you don't actually own a Prius?

 

I don't have a lead foot. I drive around 80 miles to work and home every day. Highway and 2 towns. My average is around 22 - 23 mpg. Here in this area you could say we have the death penalty for speeding. Sometimes they're hiding behind every bush. The 500 has enough power for my driving needs. I'd rather enjoy a nice convertible ride during summer. Speeding can get very dangerous here because you have people pulling out on the highway right in front of you no matter what speed you're driving. Some might even get upset when they turn on red and you don't slow down and let them in.
