[RicB]

Shouldn`t this thread be split in 2, one for derv and one for petrol? I look at some figures and cry, then see it`s a derv haha.

I don't even look, my theory is, if I have to look, I can't afford it

I think this mpg thing is a recent obsession. I had a series of Volvos in the 1980s and 1990s and I realised recently that I had never known or been interested at all in how many miles per gallon they did. So I looked them up on spritmonitor.de to find out, nearly 30 years too late, how much petrol they used.

It wasn't too much of a surprise to find they did about 27 mpg. But what was surprising is that it's only in the last month or so that I've bothered to even find out. I used to just buy petrol and drive until it needed filling up again! The simpler life of yesteryear.

For a lot of people it isn't even the main expense. I suppose it's just that there's no dashboard meter for depreciation saying, "Your journey time was 30 minutes; depreciation was £118." And so without the dashboard reminder, people take no notice!

Tend to get around 21mpg urban, though since replacing the maf its tended to do 2-3 mpg better. Just waiting forgot to throw another too rich at idle code, but fingers crossed the maf has sorted it....

My W221 S320 just returned 38.5 mpg this after I started out early morning and drove like a old lady all the way to Benz on the Green,and then drove back in the normal fashion ,these big diesels are effected by cold weather so the fact it was warm and not going over 1500 rpm gave that result if I had driven slowly home I may well have got more than 40mpg

OK to make you bigger cars feel even better... as I have seen some big cars getting ridiculously good MPG figures... my little B170 averages 39mpg on a legal motorway run, 30mpg around town in traffic.

Next model on - B180 BE 1.7 - crawls twelve miles through London traffic at 9mph and returns just on 30mpg. The joys of ECO!

Petrol engines can be economical.

I'll be repeating a regular Motorway run to York at the weekend in my C180K BE. If I keep to legal speeds it always exceeds 50MPG with a best of 57 MPG aided by a strong following wind.

 

[daves624]

The last owner of my B180 blue efficiency had done 45,000 miles at an average of 39.3 mpg/25mpg. Based in Norwich.

I've reset - we'll just have to see how the two of us do (based in London).

since 'her indoors' came back from Tesco on sunday and said she'd filled the car up......... ive had terrible fuel consumption. 25% of the tank gone and only 80 miles done?

 

[The Mirror Man]

2 months and 1,000 miles into ownership of a 2004 E270cdt with 180k on the clock.
Before changing the thermostat:
10/20 miles=35ish mpg
20/40 miles=38ish
40/150 miles=38/39 ish

After fitting new thermostat:
10/20 miles=35ish mpg
20/40 miles=40ish
40/150 miles=42ish

220 mile run on friday at the legal limit (mostly motorway) 47mpg.
300 mile run cross country and back up the motorway at 80/85 dropped the days average to 45mpg.

Generally disappointed with the short trip MPG but happy enough with the long trips. Would live to get it above 50 though.

2001 w203 C320

Averaging 26.8 mpg. I was getting 28-29 with my SAAB 9-3 2.0t so am happy enough with that.

 

[markjay]

The W203 with the M271 engine (1.8L Kompressor) returned steady 45mpg when cruising at 60mph on a clear road.

I expect the W204 with the M274 engine (1.6L Turbocharged) to do better but I did not get around to to testing it yet....

I imagine you will see a big improvement as the 1.6L kompressor in my W204 will do 55 MPG at a steady 60 MPH.

I think this mpg thing is a recent obsession.

Years ago engines weren't optimised like they are today. In the 90s when i first started driving i could cane the **** off any car i had or drive it like a saint and the mpg rarely differed by a couple mpg. These days there is a huge difference between gentle and racy with gains easily in 20 to 30 percent range.

My car (w213 e220d) can do about 38 to 42mpg driven hard or high 50s driven gently (best run was 72mpg on the trip computer, reckon more like 67 real mpg), the wife's little petrol turbo varies from 30 to over 50 on a long sub 70 mph run (still impressed a 205bhp petrol engined car can crack 50mpg, we've had mid 50s on a real gentle run). This is comparing same 50ish mile commute driven in very different ways/moods. So easy to fixate on mpg today i guess, bit of a game/distraction from the daily slog.

My W203 coupe with the V6 engine averages just over 30ish on a mix of town and country roads, but I got the average up to 37 on a recent 360 round trip with lots of motorway miles and not just trundling along either. Can't complain at that as I didn't buy it for the fuel economy anyway!

 

[dmwc180]

I use a app called fuelly, that I keep track of all my fuel ups. my average mpg in my c180K 2003 142k on clock is over 3683miles 721 litres of fuel is 28.5mpg my best is 34.1 but my worst is 21.6

 

[estate-agent]

Had my best figures so far in my CLK 270 CDI. Long motorway drive (over 250miles) resulted in the trip showing 60.5 MPG!

Round town including some spirited driving I get 30 ~ 33 MPG.

What year is your CLK 270 and do you have it mapped/chipped? That is a phenomenal MPG!
