and require more power to turn the heavier tire. I doubt this would work on a MB. It does generally work on more powerful diesels/gassers like a suburban or a cummins ram.
The problem with the mercedes are that they have been grossly misrepresented as to what mpg they actually get in craigslist ads and so on. In reality there is little you can do to increase MPG.
t walgamuth pretty much hit on most of them and then the aero mods..... an electric fan will do a little, more for city mpg than anything.
Maybe a slightly reworked pump for a bit more power.... nothing radical. In some underpowered cars an increase in power will get more mpg in just that you don't have to press the pedal down as far to get up to speed. (more to do with driving style than anything)
