Whats your best MPG today

Here's a proper long-term average from my E500:

It's not driven daily though; this is from a summer of mostly long trips with some local driving mixed in.
That seems pretty good. I was surprised to read that the claimed combined MPG for the E500 5.5 212 is actually 2.6 mpg worse than the E63 212 5.5 TT.......

Yes - the 5.5tt M157 engine has amazing efficiency, as does the 4.7tt M278 that replaced the M273 engine that I have. I think the later engines are Gasoline Direct Injection, which does seem to be very efficient in general. Some VW Golf TSI engines now claim (and achieve) 50+ mpg.

I'd love an E-class with the M278 in it, but in the UK it seems only to have been sold in the coupe/cabrio unfortunately.

M274 over 89 miles 47.1mpg!
 
79.9 from my ford Kuga FHEV. That was only over 7.6 miles after refilling. Usually about 51 mpg.
