Awesome MPG from 2000 E320!
A couple of days ago I took my son to Pensacola, FL to see the Blue Angels during one of their practice sessions. It was the first road trip that I have taken our recently aquired 2000 E320 on so I was interested to see how it did on the highway. I set the cruise on 75 mph going down to Pensacola and filled up shortly after we arrived. I ran the numbers and got 32.3mpg much to my disbelief!! The next day, after the air show and the museum tour (of which I highly recommend to anyone that hasn't been there), we left Pensacola and I set the cruise on 80 mph, and ran her hard all the way to Atlanta. I got 28.2 when I filled up in Atlanta. I'm so impressed with that car on the highway. My back was fine after 5+ hours of being in it and it got great mileage in 90+ degree heat with the A/C blasting both ways. This was just a thumbs up for our 210 model with 105K miles on it. I was also wondering if other owners typically see higher or lower mileage on trips then what my I saw on ours. Thanks all for this forum!!
