Hi, just a quick question...
What mpg would w202 c230k auto owners consider reasonable for:-
1 Motorway - upwards of 75mph steady state
2 Motorway - say 65 ish (for maximum economy)
3 General Pootling about (30ish with lights, stops etc)
4 Central London (the pits)
I only ask because whilst zipping through London over the weekend, I only managed 5 miles per litre in stop start traffic
. I've never gone this low before. Also, the quoted extra urban figs for my car are about 38mpg (8.35 miles per litre). I've never managed more than 7.35 miles per litre (33.4mpg).
Tyres and new and correctly pressurised. In all other respects car is okay.
I suppose it could be me imagining things as the traffic is a bitch, but my dailt commute East London - Windsor (66 miles) using embankment and M4 used to take 10 litres and its now 11.8 ish.
Am I just being paranoid?
