consumption

Hello Had my facelift 220D Sport 125 Ed. Estate (manual!) for 7 weeks now and really chuffed with it so far in every way.... Except consumption. My actual calculated consumption has been typically 40Mpg across a range of roads. Whilst I am not exactly a 'Sunday Driver', I don't really hoon...

I am getting about 25 MPG - 9 KM a litre driving in London roads and 36 MPG - 13 KM a Litre on motorways. I was expecting a little more. Is that normal or should it be more? I have now checked it is much less than what others are getting. My 2001 petrol beemer was giving 19 in City...

Had my B180 cdi ( manual box ) for 3 weeks now. I use it to travel to and from work, which is 17 miles each way, with about 16 miles of it dual cariageway. On the dual carriageway, I do 65-70mph indicated, but don't seem to be getting very good mpg. Over the 3 weeks the average mpg has...

Hi Can someone give me some idea what sort of real world fuel consumtion rates i will get from a c63 coupe amg at motorway speeds, 70-80-90 mph? Thanks Bouncy

Thinking of getting a second car, anyone know what real world consumption urban is for the 430 are we talking 15 to gallon or dropping to 10 to the gallon in stop start driving?!

Hi guys, I have noticed over the last 12 months the miles i am getting to a full tank has been steadily going down. I just assumed that this was down to fuel prices steadily going up. However i am starting to think there may be more to it so just wanted peoples opinions and comparisons...

I've done 6,000 miles in my C320cdi, now at 68,000 miles. It has used no oil at all, the dipstick level has remained at the full mark. Previous diesels I've have used some oil, so I was expecting a little use, hence my wondering if this lack of oil use is to be expected?

Just ordered a C250cdi coupe with delivery in March. Sales guy said to expect 50 plus mpg.Anyone on here got this car/engine and if so what real world consumption is ? Presumably C250 saloon will be similar if anyone has one as well.

Picked up my new C350 CDI estate on 1st September and have to say I'm gobsmacked by the fuel economy. Did an over 400 mile round trip from Essex to Wiltshire at the weekend and got 47.9 mpg. That's seems un believable from a 3.0 V6 Deisel. Even when I've had my foot planted around the local...

Owned my c180 for around 6 month now and have it to exactly how i want it,love it...runs perfectly but im starting to wonder if there might be something wrong wit the amount of fuel its using...reason being is that i know people with bigger cars and claim to use less fuel than me. At best im...

Wonder what other W220 S500's get on a motorway cruise. I am getting around 28mpg with cruise control (Distronic actually) on. Car is 11 years old but has been well maintained. I think that is pretty reasonable. Is this good, bad or average?

One of my friends was commenting how much better his E 250CDI saloon auto compares to C250CDI estate auto in terms of fuel consumptions. He's picking up his new E250CDI in Sept. I didn't believe him, so he went on the merc site click on edition 125 and downloaded E class price list, and indeed...

I've posted this question on this forum before, but I'm seriously dissappointed with the fuel usage on my 2010 C350 CDI sport estate, can anyone tell me why I can at the very best 36/37 mpg at between 70-80 mph when my pal gets 47 plus mpg with his E350 CDI doing the same speed, the only thing I...

I have recently purchased a C350 CDI BlueEFFICENCY estate, 6000 miles on the clock, love the car but am a bit disapointed with the fuel consumption, around town late 20's, motorway at 75/80 mph, mid 30's, Has anyone got anything like the publicised figures, urban 32.1, extra urban 49.6...

filled her up. Then did the daily commute for 11d inc weekend driving. Took this pic when she needed filling up again. 584miles on one tank. There was still 5l of fuel left in it. Not there was no ac and drove totally chilled with cruise on. Rarely went above 65. I was amazed and also...

Hi all Though I'm a really light foot driver still I'm getting really bad mileage please see attached image almost 75% of the tank is gone and she has only covered 207 miles and half of these are motorway miles, full mb service history with interim oil changes after ever 7-8000 miles. Any...

Hi all Recently had my car serviced (it's done 78K) and the mechanic reported evidence of oil burning on cylinder 4. The car has gone from max to min on the dipstick in about 600 miles (2 litres according to the manual). The head gasket was changed and the car is not leaking oil. I am thinking...

I have been considering changing my 2008 pre BE 220cdi estate for an E Class. Having driven an E350, I must admit it went very well. As regards the mpg o these cars, my 220 C has averaged 42.46 (brought down from 42.7/8 by the very recent cold weather very short runs) compared with the handbook...
