mpg

Orite guys, after another Merc now but gotta be a CDI, as amazing as the 320 was, it was abit thirsty :crazy: I spend 90% of the time sat on the motorway, and do about 120miles a day. Got anything from £5k up to £7k for the right car, so been looking at W203s and W211 and looking at C/E220s...

Steady run down from manc to London.. Quite impressed with mpg so far :)

Hello all - I just picked one of these up a week ago and trying to figure out how people work out mpg with such accuracy. Is there a setting/reading somewhere? The only way I can do it by dividing drop in fuel needle by miles travelled (manually) - is this the only way?

Has anyone else noticed an improvement in mpg over the last couple of weeks coinciding with warmer temperatures? I just filled up this evening. 525 miles and 30 litres to brim the tank again...... Yes the roads have been a bit quieter on my commute due to the school holidays but thats about...

Hi there folks. Well i pick up my pristine C280 on Monday and cant wait to get her home. I know the MPG isn't going to be that good but i'm a very steady driver and was wondering what figures i will get. Cheers, Tony

Hi All, I just wanted to find out what other users are getting for their average MPG on their ML's with the same engine. Since i have bought it i have been getting between 23MPG town running with some park way driving and 26 MPG on a long run. I know its a heavy car but i was expecting a...

Hi everyone, I have a 2005 W203 C220 CDI and when looking at the trip computer i am only getting 33-36mpg , My daily driving consists of 25 miles of motorway and 25 miles of single carriageway. On the motorway i dont go about 75-80 and on the carriage way i do 60. Temperature gauge ranges...

Hi all I'm of on my yearly trip to see friends and family in Poland, Holland, Germany, I done this trip in a 1998 C Class 250 td auto in summer with ac on all the way and managed 37 mpg round trip covering 3000 miles W204 2007 220cdi auto ac on same mileage doing 50 mpg W212 2012 220 blue...

Hello Any owners care to give an indication of real world MPG? My dad currently has a 164 ML and on his list now the CLS shooting brake maybe off the list is the new shape ML. The ML250Cdi claims 45mpg? it sound too good to be true? is it?

Just got my car has only done 400 miles 300 of those done by me returning from Swindon last night what I would like to know is I am only getting 29mpg out of the car at best. I even reset the computer on the M1 so at a constant 75mph it started at 34mpg then over the course of about 10 mins it...

Well, first long journey in the new car this week and noted some surprising differences in consumption Filled up at Tesco in Bournemouth and headed up to Scotland on Thursday, 480 miles at pretty much 70 mph all the way and I got 54 mpg Return journey, same mileage and speed, 48 mpg ...

So I have recently purchased a 2000 c class 220cdi (w202 I think ). Has anyone fitted a plug & play chip that apparently takes it from 125bhp to 150 and torque increase from 300nm to 360nm and also a 15% increase in fuel economy??? Reckon their jargon!!? I don't expect hp increases to be that...

Toying with the idea of an S-Class W221 at some point. Thought I'd put myself off with a notional insurance quote and it was fully comp for S350 CDI at £520. Not too shabby. Ok, it fits on my drive (just), tyre prices not too bad, tax ok and the press heap praise on it. BUT, I see a few...

Just a bit of fun as I know quite a few AMG owners (and prospective owners) are mildly obsessed with MPG. I've now owned my C63 for one whole year (OK, it'll actually be 1 year tomorrow, but it was a Sunday, so I count today as the anniversary) and honestly feel buying it was one of the best...

I was on the M62 near Leeds with the average speed cameras, I set the cruise control to 50mph, once the cameras was finished, I stuck to about 60mph. I've had a average of 42 mpg over a 250ish mile journey, Liverpool to Minehead without even trying but never got a pic of that. Pity i don't get...

MPG is not really a consideration when looking at both these cars, however I would be interested to know from existing SLK 55 owners what the trip computer says about your average MPG. Just interested to see if all the new tech on the SLK 55 engine makes much of a difference in the real world

hi as soon as i start my c32 its starting mpg is 12 :eek: and drops to about 10 ,is this normal ? the car doesnt use anymore than my last car in a week so im not bothered its just a bit scary knowing it cost 50p a mile . my last car had no trip computer so was probably doing the same

Hi Folks, Please take a moment to help me - I'm at the end of my tether. I have a 2004 W203 271 engine C180 Auto. ~60,000 mile on the clock. I bought it about 17 months ago. Problem: The fuel consumption is awful. Always has been. Around town I'm getting about 20mpg avg. 28mpg on...

Hi, I'm new, so go easy. I have just bought a E350 cdi estate, has done approx 8000 miles. I have always had bmw's in the past and more recently range rovers. A friend of mine has a c350 cdi and I love it, so after much deliberation I dismissed all others and bought this - and I love it...

Just messing with the trip computer on way to work up the M1 this morning and was surprised by the MPG I'm getting. Seems pretty good for a 12 year old V6 3.2 don't you think??
