mpg

Just swapped my 19mpg BMW 330i Petrol Touring for a 2004 E 320 Cdi Estate in the hope that it would be much cheaper to run. It's a new car to me, so I've given it the beans a few times, but I'm only getting 19mpg on the readout. I thought these were around 35 mpg? Remap? Chip?

Whats the best way to improve the mpg on my W211 E320 Cdi, chipping, re-map or as a colleague suggested changing fuel and air filter often?

Filled up my W204 C220 yesterday, the 'from reset' figures were 400+ miles, and 53.3mpg. As a lot of the driving was short runs to and from work, I was happy with this. (the car's done less than 5000 miles) But doing the brim to brim, first time I've done it on this car, and using 1ltr =...

My E280 shows only average MPG from Startup or reset, but I can see no way to see actual MPG due to driving conditions. I was used to using this on my old car for driving for economy. Is it not included as a display option on Mercs or have I missed something?

well just after a 500 mile round trip to Dublin im my v6 c280 280 i'm delighted i got 31 mpg overall as driving was all motorway and city use. Actually more than happy.:D

Hi All, I bought a 1990 300SEL recently and I've just got round to checking the LPG mileage. It returned around 19 mpg on gas. It's the first 12v M103 I've had and I have to say it's a really obliging motor and the ride seems better balanced in the long version rather than the SE...

Hi folks. just wondering how much in petrol it's going to cost me from leicester to Holy Head. its 200 miles. I was going to go on bike which gives 50 mpg but i know my c280 is going to be half that probably. Its a long run though and i wont do over 70 and i have a very very light right foot...

Last Sunday I had a journey from Norfolk to South Essex and managed to get 34.2 mpg Amazed? Don't be! I got a rear puncture and therefore swapped to the spare wheel so didn't go over 55 mph on the journey home which was mostly motorway and good A roads. I'd rather be getting sub 20 mpg...

Hello there! I have a problem with my new car and was hoping for some help here. I am new to these forums but this is my second mercedes (out of 4 cars total, used to have a 190D) I have recently bought a 2006 C220 CDi Auto, and its returning some ghastly mpg (had a passat tdi before this...

Mercedes reveals S500 plug-in hybrid, rated at three liters per 100 km - Autoblog 3L/100km = 94 MPG Pretty crazily good for such a big car to be honest, especially that you can charge at home / car parks. Doesn't sound cheap though! Around £85-90k I guess???

Those cars have the same engine. 2010 has the 5 speed auto and the 2013 the 7g tronic. MPG wise the C250 looks to be a lot better! On the highway going super slow I managed 70MPG in the C250CDI. In my C220 I might see 47MPG. Both cars were in 5th gear. Just 30BHP difference between the cars but...

I saw a feature in the Telegraph on a London to Edinburgh bodied Rolls Royce Silver Ghost - here for those able to keep under the free article limit. The reason for the name turns out to come from the bodywork of the car driven by Ernest Hives (an apprentice who became chairman) from London...

Just wondering what sort of figures people are (genuinely) getting. I've been running my C350 CDI since February, and I think the overall average is around 34 or so. I only really make an effort to drive light footed on the motorway journeys, where I can get 40+ (best to date is 47)...

i have a new C220 CDI C204, its new so has less than 500miles on it so far. i did a reset on the computer when i filled it up, currently the onboard computer says i'm averaging 37.7mpg over the last 300miles of driving. Using a web mpg calculator, its saying i'm averaging 47.05MPG. >>...

Hi there, I m new to this forum. I have w203 c220 cdi 2004. I have noticed that sometimes engine sound becomes heavy and fuel consumption goes higher & mpg drop quickly for no reason. As a workaround, i switch off and then on again the engine and mpg becomes normal. If i don't do anything, then...

Driving from Manchester to Birmingham and back on the M6 earlier today. Apart from the speed restrictions and a couple of short jams it was pretty much around the 80mph mark most of the way. Only looked out of interest on my return so could probably do better. Amazing if accurate for a C220.

Apologies for yet another one of those threads, but, most of the posts I have seen so far were all about one journey, there and back. We can all take a back seat and puddle along carefully watching current fuel usage. My trip computer got reseted about 8 weeks ago, since then I have done...

In My month or so of 164 ML ownership I do miss not seeing 40mpg or more on the trip... The E class would do this easily...however, it feels very solid, I like being high up again (I had the W163 at one point), I like it. Anyway today we had a cruise to a National Trust house with the...

Hi all, My dad has a facelift W211 220 CDi Avantgarde Automatic Saloon. He's been looking at the dash and monitoring the MPG lately and he seems to get about 25/26MPG, this is all town driving mind you. Does this seem low or about right as it is quite a heavy car to lug around and being...

Hi guys, Just wondering what your best MPG has been to date? From a full tank? I attempted to get the most miles from a tank I could. (Before being too scared). 676! That was in my 2012 c220 coupe average of 49mpg. Here's a little picture I'm pretty proud of! Thanks!
