I come from germany and the price for gas is a little bit cheaper than in usa. When I were living in usa, I donīt have to get worried about the fuel consumption.
For comparison only: 1 gallone costs in germany $7,35 and in usa 1 gallone will cost around $2,10 > 350% more than you have to pay

Nothing 
about that. It's a small world, there was a slight chance that she could have been from the same town. Plus, if there is not someone that you keep in your heart forever, then my friend, you have not really been in love. There are only two women I will ever feel that way about, my ex in Germany, and my wife. Heck, even my wife knows, and understands what my ex meant to me.

back to the routes
offtopic: is it possible to implantate the new steering wheel in the e55. I mean the steering wheel at the year 2006 until 2008 or the black series steering wheel. In my e350 with sport package this steering wheel was oem.

If you have to ask, this is not the car for you!
While I have seen as high as the low 20's, my average for in-town driving is around 8-12 as speeds are low and my right foot is heavy. My average is probably in the 14-15 range but I am hardly ever on the highway and when I am, I take advantage of it.
Top Gear proved a very interesting point on one of their shows not to long ago...it is not what you drive but how you drive it. I think the comparison was between a V8 M3 and a Prius but I could be remembering wrong.

haha. It was a rental and I drove it as such. I didn't trash it just drove it to is max the entire time I had it.To the OP, mid teens for city and low 20s highway is pretty common.

Nope, your memory is quite accurate. They also proved that the Prius does not get the advertised mileage, during "normal" driving.

I've driven mine 21.5k miles, mostly highway commuting and my calculated average is 18.2 mpg (Car says 17.9).
The very best I ever got for a whole tank was 21.1 and that was on a non-stop, highway-only tank where I was trying to maximize economy.
Worst full tank was 15, back when I first got the car and was hitting it at every stop light.

Is that 24 mpg what the display told you for a moment in time or what you calculated for a whole tank?

After 16K miles my average is 16.7. Best highway mileage I have ever seen is 21.1 also. Several times while going anywhere from 65-75 I have reset the mileage display and drove for a few miles. Computer shows just over 21 if I'm using cruise control. If I make a bunch of short trips and just cruise around town I usually see 9 or so. I don't look at the mileage anymore, just fill it up when it hits a 1/4 tank and drive the wheels off of it. I've done 18K since April.
