- W204 C220 AMG Sport Plus
Hi forum
I've been reading this forum for a while. First Merc was a 03 W203 220 then 09 W204 220 and recently changed to a S204 220 Amg Sport Plus. Love it. Such increase in luxury from my previous 220 amg.
When purchasing the salesman stated I should see a big increase in mpg over my then 09 220. Since I've got it I've been getting less on my same common journeys. Prob 10% less even when trying as I have now noticed this. Granted I am taking these figures from the trip computer but should this be the case? Should I be concerned and look into this or are there obvious factors I'm missing...bigger wheels 7 speed gear box on shorter journeys?
Any and all advice greatly received for a noob
