My '92 500SEL gets a whopping 10-12 mpg in city driving, but on the highway that figure soars to maybe 16-17! This not a car for the faint of heart at the gas station, to put it mildly....not when 25 gallons could drain your wallet of $70 or so. But then fuel economy is not why these cars were built....moving 3 tons around with a 5-liter V-8 was never designed to be fuel-efficient. And the window sticker on mine says that a $2000 "pay to play" tax (gas guzzler) was imposed to make that impressive mileage all that much more enjoyable

Wow I didn't realize the M119 did that bad! My friends S320 gets very high 20's on the highway and around 20 in town.
10-12 is like S600 mileage!

thanks for reply
I know that 500sel is a gas guzzler. I spoke with a guy who has s420 and he got 650 miles on full tank city/highway. I never push my cars but it seems to burn 9-10 mpg city/highway which I think is too low. And as Hatterasguy said its like s600 mpg. Also car smells gas and smokes out exhaust which also make me feel that there is a problem. If I can get 12mpg in city and 15 on highway its OK but Im not. I believe your car is in good shape so if my car burns way more than yours I have a problem. Thanks for reply now I have numbers to work with. Any ideas why my car burn so much fuel besides that I floor it every intersection? O2 sensor is new btw
Thank you Victor

Its an old car I am no gasser expert but I would suspect the following:
Tired injectors bad o2 sensors Dirty plugs/air filter Carrying lots of crap Driving hard 650 miles out of an S420 is pushing it but not amazing. 26.5 gallon capacity means if he was getting 25mpg he could have done it. Granted he would have been an fumes pulling into the gas station. 25mpg is very doable in an S420. Figure 60-70 on the highway with the cruise on.

Thanks a lot guys. Those MPG numbers make me happy for 5 liter motor. So I definatelly have problems with my mixture if I get 8-10mpg combined driving with no A/C in 50 degree weather.

My 95 S420 was rated at 15 city/20 highway. That's about what I got. I was impressed that it would hold 20mpg on the highway even with extra weight in my right shoe.
I'm impressed with what I read about S320 fuel efficiency. My 91 300SE was rated at 16 city/20 highway. Reality was more like 17 city/19 highway. Tells you something about how unmatched the M103 is to the W126. Sixto 87 300SDL
