I had never checked the fuel economy on my 85' 380SE, because it was so much better than my 95' GMC Suburban SLT 4WD, which was getting 13 MPG.

Anyway, I checked the Mercedes last time I filled up and I calculated that it is getting 20 MPG in the city. Pretty suprising for a 3800 lb, V8 car, especially considering that it has 265K.

Does this sound about average for other W126 sedans with a V8 engine?
