What's Yours Say???

I figured this would be the most appropriate place not expecting much feedback on the W215 forum. I've had the car for almost 3 yrs now. This is something I reset when I first bought it and forgot about. I was wondering where I rank amongst others.

I thought the same thing but you have to take into consideration the potential in a ECU delimited car. Also this is not my daily driver so when its used its enjoyed.

Honestly I would do the exact same if that was my case. I'll have to check mine later but I think its around 16.5mpg and averaging around 65mph.

Since I've owned my car, I think I'm around 14 to 15 mpg.

87 mph average is flyinggggg

Nice little run, you certainly have the MPG's on your side....Now the big question can you maintain it for 1,000 miles or too much stop and go in your normal routine???

Mine reset while I was doing some coding...


IIRC, it said 9mpg, with an incriminating average speed. Yeah, that was over the last 8k miles too.
