- 2009 C63 Performance Pack, 2017 E220d AMG Premium Plus
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 decisions of my motoring life. It's been (and continues to be) awesome.
For whatever reason, tonight I decided to take it extremely easy on a run home, just to see what was possible. It was a mix of motorway and dual carriageway with a fair bit of traffic, cruising at around 70-73mph for most of the time, and NOT using cruise control but instead gently caressing the loud pedal. I actually surprised myself:
26.8MPG
Which contrasts sharply with a couple of weeks ago:
8.1MPG
I'm sure someone will have beaten the 8.1MPG - a good few laps around the Nurburgring should do that. But anyone "beaten" 26.8MPG over a decent distance?
For prospective owners, NO, this isn't typical.
