A couple of months ago Mercedes Enthusiast (UK) ran an article about a publicity drive arranged by MB to drive cross-country on US 80 with two of the new ML320 CDI's and a Lexus RX400h hybrid, with the goal to show that Diesel was just as economical as the hybrid (they brought their own low-sulfur diesel in a chase truck). Over a few thousand miles, mostly highway, one of the ML's got 31.1 mpg and the other got 30.7; the Lexus got around 27 mpg.
