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!

My previous C270 Cdi was excellent on fuel..
On a motorway run (70 - 75mph) I usually got 51 -53mpg..
However, if I drove in "old biddy mode" (around 50 mph) then see photos"

1st photo was the first C270 Cdi (pre face lift) I owned..
2nd Photo was my 2005 face lift version (recently sold)..

I regularly get over 800 miles from a tankful, average 750-800. Best on gentle motorway runs has been over just over 80 mpg on the obc.
 
I have a C250TD, and I got 400miles from a tank, and that is flooring it all the time. I reckon I could squeeze another 200 miles from driving 1/3 less throttle, hope that makes sense.
 
1994 s124 best 45mpg @ 50mph 40psi tires no aircon
1999 w202 best 35mpg @ 70mph 40psi tires no aircon

It's interesting to see the economy of the c250cdi BE facelift at 70mpg+
Improvements in fuel economy are beginning to tip the balance in favour of newer cars even though an investment of £20k would be required.
 
Cant get anywhere near most of these figures. My bests were all on long 1000 mile motorway runs to or from Italy. CLK200K 42.1mpg. S124 280 29.6mpg.
 
58.1 mpg out of my CLK270 on a 100mile + trip. im sure I can beat it though :)
 
Best I have had on a tankful (actual calculated mpg) is 53.84mpg. Total average over the car's 14000miles to date is 48.19 and improving!
 
I can get the computer in my C270 auto to show 60mpg on a trip but the most miles I have ever got from a tank is about 500 which equates to about 45mpg calculated.

Normal mpg calculated manually on refilling tank usually around 40mpg

On my car anyway, it seems that the computer overreads quite significantly.
 
My 2012 C350cdi averages 48.8 if I drive sensibly :)

DPF delete soon so fingers crossed it goes up.

Best I've got is 47 MPG and 650 miles on a tank. That does include a lot of bumbling around Cumbria, with lots of hills, narrow roads and potholes. Not much steady speed...

Normally get around 36 to 42.
 
My Golf set a new record for the journey to work today, 75.7mpg for the 23 miles as slow traffic at around 50 on the motorway clearly had it in its sweet spot. Average for the 23k mils I have one is 56.8 currently.
 
64.5 MPG in the Bora at a constant 70-75mpg

28.2 MPG in the C55 at similar speeds

74.6 MPG from a friends Audi A2 TDI again similar speeds brilliant little car must admit fancied one as a cheap run about until I saw how much they are.
