Without sounding sarcastic, with a V12 in a W140 chassis, fuel consumption should be the last of your worries.

I see about 18 and change running straight highway...That's being fairly 'good' but w/ a few quick runs up to 110-120 just to keep things interesting.
I've checked it on about 10 tanks driving back and forth from FL to GA and GA to VA. Don't bother keeping track of my around town mileage..I don't really want to know, nor do I drive it around town much..defeats the purpose of this car (IMHO). Hope that helps  Jonathan

If they are concerned about fuel economy, then they shouldn't buy one. A W140 chassis by itself is expensive to own, but the M120 V12 will put an owner on his knees, begging for mercy.

Regardless of what a car cost when new, owners should know what kind of gas mileage is expected out of the car. A drop in the numbers suggests something is wrong, and requires attention.
My 95 S600 averaged 10-12 mpg in the city. My commute includes many stops, and traffic can come to a crawl quite often. On the highway, doing 75-80 mph, with 2 adult passengers and luggage, with AC on, I would get 22-23 mpg.
