Have you replaced your thermostat? Also probably a good idea to clean and flush the whole cooling system.
Higher temps should not adversely effect fuel mileage. Lower temps would however.

One can be plagued with high temps with these cars for various reasons. Both my 240Ds were running a little too warm, finally did the right combination of cures and they've been doing fine. First check with one of those infra red heat sensors too see if its really that warm. I would try another OEM T stat, make sure the arrow is pointing up.
