E55s are GREEN
An upward job path has shifted me away from a 6 mile round trip commute and put me into one of 150. I don't mind the drive as there is little traffic and I'm, well, in the 55 on a contoured mesh of fine leather (I did add an 8" sub to make the audio more 'life like').
What has been getting old is filling up every 3-4 days. So I have become very aware of my gas guzzling habits. It doesn't mean I don't use the the available thrust, I'm just more selective.
My commute is sea level to sea level with two sets of hills neither of which is more than a few hundred feet. The warm weather helps mileage and I've cracked over 28 MPG a few times on the 75 mile one-way trip. Based on the cars range and gallons in the tank figures, I often hit 31-32 MPG while cruising. Due to weekends around town, my overall mileage hovers around 24.5.
In some way, I feel like I'm abusing the car by not abusing it but what the alternative - drive a no guts tin can, no thanks.

My best MPG is 27.1 never reach more than that. I was driving 35 miles constant speed. This car has really good high way MPG ! The Camry V6 get 30 only and E55 with V8 power !

Damn that is pretty good. I average about 20MPG with a 52 mile roundtrip commute. 101 from Palo Alto to San Jose does not help in the afternoon.

And this another factor as to why I'm keeping the E55 as a DD when I get my new CLS55. For the money you just can't beat a W210 E55. Ridiculous low maintenance great cost factor HP/TQ and still sexy looking![drive](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/driving.gif)
W210 E55 FTW
