My car is sitting in the garage right now showing 650kms on the trip odo and is about to go on the fuel light. I'll put 58L in it (as always at that point) and that works out to:
8.9L/100kms in combined freeway and stop and go driving. That is 27USMPG. The little aspro four can get shockingly good mileage when combined with the five speed and a light foot. I have got worse numbers, of course, when all stop and go and hot weather, but "bad" is a relative term.
Except for small "economy" cars like the Civic or Corolla, it's tough to use less gas in a sedan, and the C230 will hammer along comfortably all day at 200km/h (okay, not sipping gas, but a Civic can't do it at all).
Also, at 172,000km's, my car is tight, rattle free, and still drives like new. As much as I like our two Subarus, they have less mileage, are much newer, and do not have the body integrity of the C230, not even close.
