City - 18mpg (30mph)hi everyone,
I wonder what MPG you get with your AMG ?
e.g.
- city
- motorway
- combined
Here are my (London figures) for '13 CLS63 Shooting Brake.
- 13
- 28 (@70mph; c. 26ish @90mph)
- around 18-19
Wow that really is exceptional!
I expect they had an EXCEPTIONALLY dull journey with that mpg. Rather them than meApparently it was a E220d with the 1950cc OM654 , not a good engine though .
After 11 months of ownership overall MPG is 28.32I keep accurate records for all my cars.
In the last two years in my SL350 (Not AMG) I have only covered 2,543 miles using 107.77 Imp gallons of petrol giving overall MPG of 23.6.
The best tankfuls were 25.8 & 25.9 both long trips mostly on motorways & much use of cruise control..

That's true. But I'd argue there's little point being accurate anyway as there are too many variables to allow meaningful comparison. Two people could do the same journey in identical cars at the same time but have quite different mpgs due to driving style differences. I could do the same journey in the same car on different days and get very different mpg due to different weather or traffic conditions. The difference in how mpg is measured are less than these differences so there's not much point being accurate anywayWith all these threads about MPG my thoughts are that there is only one way to be accurate with the numbers,fill the tank up by putting the pump nozzle all the way into the filler neck and when it clicks off stop and reset your trip and then after using that tank full do the same thingagain and then get the calculator out,given you now have how much you put in and the miles covered,if everybody did that with these MPG threads we would get a better idea of what cars ar doing mileage wise.

I make sure my journeys aren't dull if journeys were always dull, I'd lose my love of driving. They would be much duller in an underpowered diesel giving high mpg though as I'd be stuck behind all the traffic that I can easily overtake in my car!Most journeys are dull these days , soooooo much traffic and queuing but from my point of view it's best to match the car to 99% of the actual use it experiences .
Guess what my average mph is over the last 12,000 miles ?
A whiff of steady speed E220 motorway hypermiling, methinks.Wow that really is exceptional!
Journey's are only dull if you let them be dull, surely? If there's queuing, take a different route - that's what I used to do a few years ago when my commute was a 124 mile round trip to South West Birmingham. I would rarely let myself sit in traffic day after day, i'd much prefer taking a completely different route and use some new roads wherever possible.Most journeys are dull these days , soooooo much traffic and queuing but from my point of view it's best to match the car to 99% of the actual use it experiences .
