- 320CLK 98 W208, MK1 Fiesta XR2 Fly (Convertible)
Driving from the Wirral to Leeds yesterday in ordinary traffic in my 1998 CLK 320 I was amazed to discover the car averaging 35.5 MPG.
I was driving normally between 60 and 70 sometimes lower sometimes higher depending on traffic. At one point it even got up to 36.2 before I hit Leeds city centre.
When I first got the car it was doing around 27mpg but a new MAF, plugs, O2 sensors, B service, AT fluid change and keeping the tyres correctly inflated has obviously done the trick.
Now fingers crossed it stays that way or I'll have to sell another child to get it sorted.
