There are a number of variables that could skew or affect mileage numbers -- aerodynamics of the car, weight, transmission gearing, rear-end, presence of a tailwind, etc. -- that a direct comparison is probably not valid.

My wife's 1995 E320T can obtain 26 MPG over long distances using cruise control.
