Average fuel range on C class estate s205 220d

[muhib777]

Hi all, new here
Im just wondering what is average fuel range other c class estate s205 members receive.
I have a c class estate 205 220d 4 matic 2018.

I car has a 41l fuel tank unfortunately and i only recieve just under 300miles per tank with 30mpg on average. ( i do short trips and city driving which is result of poor mpg.)

Im disappointed i dont receive minimum 400miles range. Considering its a diesel. At the same time ive been decieved by auto trader who claimed its a 66l tank on tech specs when i bought last year.

Thanks!

While the 66L fuel tank is defined as the 'large volume' option, I've never seen a car that didn't have it, and so the small 41L is a surprise.

Regarding your car, the official fuel consumption figure is 50mpg and you should have seen 450 miles range - on a combined cycle. This means a mixture of urban and motorway driving.

City driving isn't ideal for a Diesel car, and short journeys where the engine doesn't get warm are even worse. Additionally, a clogged DPF (as result of short journeys) won't help fuel consumption either.

If you still think that the car should perform better, the things to look for are faulty thermostat, underinflated tyres, blocked air filters, and sensor or EGR faults that can be diagnosed with MB STAR.
