For some insane reason I'm getting closer to 10-11 MPG in my 300SE. I think EPA rates it at 16 on the highway, so I guess that's accurate for the model. Plus my 10 mile commute has 23 stop lights on it, which doesn't help. Anyway, this is my first gasser and I just overall prefer the diesel... but you're right about the price. I remember when I first got my 300TD several years ago diesel was about the price of premium or less. I can't believe they charge so much for diesel these days. Doesn't it require less refining than gasoline? Is it because it's "ultra low sulfur" or whatever?
Something is wrong with your car. That car should get right around 20 mpg no matter where you drive it. The best I ever had my 300se going was about 23ish mpg.

City is more like 18 give or take
