EPA estimates for city driving is 13 mpg. I’m not getting close to that in my 2022-55, more like 8-10mpg. Has anyone here calculated their mileage, city and highway? If so can you please chime in?
I am getting 15-18mpg in town, low 20’s on the highway. Mainly computer generated and displayed mpg figures, but the odometer and gas pump count are very close to computer driven numbers.
The EPA city driving cycles have lots of extended stops to favor engine start/stop and they use very moderate driving styles. It's all in your lead foot. You don't get the city EPA estimates unless you drive like a grandma. Car is heavy, so unless you accelerate very gradually, upsetting everybody behind you, around 10 mpg is more like it. Anyway, who pays attention to mpg with a V8 performance car. Wrong car if gas mileage matters to you.
For reference, ran an errand today with my lighter '19 C63S coupe. Mix highway/city, 17.1 miles, average speed 24 mph, average consumption about 13 mpg according to the trip information in the Mercedes me app. That's pretty typical, but I also drive quite spirited and see averages for similar trips as low as 10-11 mpg. It's smiles per gallon with these cars, not miles per gallon ;-).
