i wonder how the mpg is , i heard that taking themm easy 28 to 30 mpg is possible but who would want to take them easy ?

I have an E55 with the Supercharged engine and it gets about 15-17 MPG around town and I've never seen it get over 25 MPG on the motorway either, would have thought the CL would be exactly the same or perhaps an MPG or 2 worse as it's heavier.

I average 18, highest I have seen was 26 on a run...

i take it that the car has no suspension springs at all , just this abc oil struts?

 

[m2287]

theres a spring in the strut, its all one unit

I have been told that when the abc is working the ride in the car is like nothing else how does it cope with bumps etc ?
