I got a 1984 500sel euro and driving nicely or roughly i generally get 13mpg. When i first got it 12mpg was the best didn't matter if i ran 90 or 55. I climaxed 14.2 on the highway cruise set at 70 for an hour there and an hour back. Has approximately 200k on it. A hog but well worth it for the fun of watching a 6 grand shift. It has a 560 aircleaner now and a s600 grill. SWEET!

I haven't checked the mileage on any of my cars for decades.

1992 300E M103 with 120K mi.
About 50/50 hwy/city
91 octane CA premium

20 mpg

Haven't done a highway trip long enough to go through a full tank yet, so I don't know what the highway only mileage would be, but I suspect 3-5 mpg better.

1989 300CE (W124, M103) with 85K.

I got 20mpg (75% high way, 25%city). Normally the counter reaches ~290 miles when the reserve light goes off. One time from Houston to Dallas, the car made surprisingly ~26mpg. Need another long trip to know highway mileage better.

I have to add that at the moment my EHA leaks a bit. Perhaps after fixing I can get better MPG. Will report then.

Have a nice day!

1987 420 SEL with about 95,000 on the clock now

generally I get:
14-18 MPG city, depending on how much I push the go button
19-21 MPG highway, again, depends on how often I push it hard to pass someone.

I have a spreadsheet with approximate MPG for the last 30 fill-ups or so if anyone wants to take a look. I try to keep statistical data to see if any of the repairs I make change the milage at all. I can't be too sure of how accurate each different gas pump is at measuring the dispensed quantity, and also if I fill it up the even close to the same amount each time or not.

No Idea...
I've always lived by the rule of. "If you can afford to drive a Mercedes, why should you be concerned with fuel mileage to begin with ?" So I go by this rule with all of mine, as well as my other cars. Someone once asked me what kinda fuel mileage I get, in one of my Lamborghini Countach. My response was simply, " At two hundred miles per hour, or at one hundred miles per hour?" He just shrugged, and walked away... I was amply entertained for the afternoon, and had some laughs about it with my Fiance' while we drove around wasting gas all day, in the car. She heard his question, while she was in the car, and asked me when I got in if the guy seemed to be a bit slow or something..,"There goes Rainman". Kinda cruel we both knew that, but it was too, much to resist at the time, and we were within the sound proof confines of the car.
I know my fuel mileage in my Tractor trailer, is something like 7 miles per gallon. This is only because of taxes, and staring at the fuel gauge, and others all day for so much time. Also, to plan trips, and stops.

Truckinik - It's not so much that some of us on this board can afford to drive a mercedes, because some of us didn't pay a whole lot for ours. While you can afford some of these nice cars brand new, I paid a mere $4000 for mine which, while it's in good condition, is 20 years old. I know people who buy honda civics and ford escorts and pay three or more times that for their car new.

The point is that a good number of us are still penny pinchers. Hell, why else are we here discussing how to diagnose and repair our own cars if we are more than able to pay the outrageous labor costs associated with repairing any car? I'll be honest. I was 17 years old the first time I picked up a wrench, and it definately wasn't for pure enjoyment.
