Thanks for the update, I am currently living vicariously thru you, I would love to own the new BluTec and enjoy its mileage, but alas, I am deffering that purchase.

Actually the odometer is spot on accurate...checked by experience and GPS, it is the MPGs computer that is consistently 10% too high. I'd like to think it is accidental but would guess they "skew" it higher purposely to make people feel good. The computer on my Jetta is always within one or two tenths of an MPG so I know it is possible to have an accurate system, it is just that M-B's isn't.
