The MPG Thread to end all MPG Threads - FUELLY! - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

Delibes · #1 05-15-2010, 09:35 PM

Hello everyone,
I just wanted to present you this MPG website I found:

www.fuelly.com

I already have my Lexus LS400 (blasphemy!) in the database, it's got a great interface!

Definitely this is the place to direct all those people who have doubts on what mileage any Mercedes may get, instead of creating billions of threads in this forum. I checked on the Fuelly MB section and it is quite a shame not to see too many diesels over there.

Absolutely recommend to check it out!

Great mileage for such a large, comfortable car.

Thanks! I drive that boat like a granny. I once got 30.5mpg on the LS400 driving at 55mpg for 60 miles... luckily it was at night.

Does anyone else in this forum have the custom of keeping a fuel sheet?

I have had my Jetta on there for a while and just put my 81 240 up on it.

I added both my gassers. Will use to track...Pretty cool site actually. Nice graphs.

tfernandez · #8 05-17-2010, 02:32 PM

the 300cd listed on there makes me feel a lot better about my 24 mpg average

Cool. I just imported a years data and added the avatar to my signature.

Now I want to see if I can get it to work with my phone.

Thanks for the link.

I don't see this thread as the end of all MPG threads. nice site to track, but it doesn't do anything to help explain why my 300TD still gets 18-21MPG...

I think you can change your avatar at "Your Profile > Change Photo", at the top. If you mean getting the fuelly badge, it's under "Name of Vehicle> Get your Own Fuelly Badge", scrolling a little bit down.

Thanks for sharing your MPG info! Hopefully we'll see more W123's and W126's; maybe some W115's!

Nice website, I just signed up and added my diesel. There are 3 other W124 diesels on there all averaging over 30MPG!
