If you guys can push mpg up to the low 20s, then maybe I can too. Next week I'll do a highway tank and see where it puts me.
In my 1993 300E (3.2), I routinely returned 20.5 mpg in mixed city / highway driving over the entire time I owned the car, averaged over about 80,000 miles of driving.

In 100% highway driving, from my house in So. Cal. to Las Vegas (250 miles one way), I got 26 mpg.
