consumption

Hi everyone, I make about 300 miles for full standard tank which is about 60 litres. Do you think it is normal? I bought it about 2 months ago.

Happy New Year all. For the energy geeks amongst us here's my household (2 of us) energy consumption for 2012. Electricity 2900 KWh Heating Oil 1100 litres Water 47000 litres Diesel: 2500 litres Unless work changes I imagine 2013 will be roughly the same. Anyone else with data to...

Hi guys, been off the road for 3 years, so think maybe slightly out of touch with how much petrol the pound buys these days, any way i have a very low mileage mercedes clk200 1.8 w209 model - the car shows around town that im getting between 25-30 mpg and on a run upto 38 on long run , short...

These have a reputation for drinking very heavily so I thought I would check it out. I have been using it in Italy for a week or so and have just driven it back to the UK. No passengers but the boot fully laden with Prosecco, red wine and olive oil amongst other things. Overnight stop in Dijon...

Overview: Mercedes-Benz - E-Klasse - Spritmonitor.de Only in The Fatherland!! Browse by model, browse by make. It even has trucks on there. It's in litres per 100km - not too difficult to work back - or google the calculator! Some very interesting LPG results. Cheers, Paul

How would the consumption of a 2010 C350cdi compare to my 12 year old C220cdi? Much worse, slightly worse, roughly the same? I really need to get another Merc and I like these a lot. The last couple of times I checked my 220cdi over two tanks of fuel it came in at about 38mpg the first time and...

Hi Guys, So from another thread, I just figured out that a fuel consumption graph can be displayed on the comand screen in the system pages. I've got the consumption graph enabled from the engineer menu, under 'HU Parameters', then page 5 and selected 'Fuel' under the 'Hybrid Options'. The...

I know there's no substitute for looking at the fuel gauge and going "O look I need diesel" but ....... I've just done a brim to brim and it worked out at 44.3 whereas the all knowing computer says 37.6 A quick search of the forum would suggest Star is required to adjust/enter a conversion...

Having at last completed the installation of the Highline instrument cluster in my Vito 120 Sport, (don't ask - the complications and sheer incompetence from the main dealer really do beggar belief) I thought I would test the MPG on the way home from the mileage adjustment guy. The figures...

Very early days but the first 80 miles in our C250 (1.8 turbo 4 cyl) we've only got 26mpg and it's been fairly clear runs not heavy traffic. Coming from a 5L V8 in the ISF and getting 20mpg average over 5k miles needless to say so far not at all impressed. I know the figure should improve over...

Gents I don't know if this is the correct forum for this question but seeing as I'm a member I'll give it a try? After a period of unemployment, the C32 has had to go (boohoo, hope Darren from Hampshire enjoys it) and I'm now setting up on my own and have bought a LWB Sprinter 311 Luton...

Hi, Just sense checking here as i do need to get to work on this issue shortly. My c32 has since i bought it produced woeful MPG numbers, its also kicking out a huge amount of head from the cats which combined with a sooty looking exhause leads me to conclude its running rich, very rich...

I'm not sure if anyone will be able to help me but I would like know approximately how many miles I can do after my fuel gauge showing completely empty? I drive a Mercedes sprinter van 218

I have been using my 2009 220CDI Sport (W204) for a week now, (400 miles), and am achieving an avg. 45.5 m.p.g according to the cars display. Mainly A & B roads. Can anyone vouch for the accuracy or otherwise of the on board consumption meter or is it just meant as a general indicator. Either...

Hi everyone, my fathers 2006 E280 CDI (50,000 miles) is suffering from very low fuel consumption - around 21-22 MPG:doh: Took it for a diagnostic check at the local indie and an Upstream O2 Sensor / Lambda Sensor showed up as faulty (stored). Got the sensor replaced with a brand new one but the...

I took delivery of my new C350 Coupe last week and am finding it impossible to come anywhere close to the official 40.4 mpg fig. Even blowing on the throttle all day I'm getting 30.1! :wallbash: Is it because the car is new? Has anyone else had experience of 'running in' the engine, and if...

I take it that the "from start" fuel consumption resets when you park up and switch off. Although today I've noticed two things: 1 The from start is not resetting when I've switched off, locked up and left the car. 2. The parking (foot) brake does not seem to be "clicking" as it usually...

Thinking buying a R129 SL. can anybody tell me the typical fuel consumption of the 500 as against the 320. On paper there looks to be very little difference between the two. (24 mpg for the 320 and 22mpg for the 500.) But are they "real world" figures, is the 22mpg for the 500 very optimistic.?

Well, I have now taken delivery of my new E250 coupe. It has only got 100 miles on the clock and the reset computer is showing 44mpg. This is about what my C Class Estate showed and allowing for that car's 5% optimistic computer, it does not appear to me that the E coupe is anywhere near...

Forget the glossy brochures this HONEST JOHN compilation allows people to submit their own experiences of fuel consumption in the real world. Has to be taken with a pinch of salt obviously like all internet stuff but makes interesting reading for prospective buyers? Mercedes-Benz | Real MPGs |...
