1990 300E. 153K miles.
23 mpg mixed 20%city/80% highway. 25-26 all highway. Cold weather (below 20 deg. F) knocks it down about 10%. Air cond. doesn't hurt it quite as much unless it's a lot of in town driving.

1992 300E M103 with 120K mi.
About 50/50 hwy/city 91 octane CA premium 20 mpg Haven't done a highway trip long enough to go through a full tank yet, so I don't know what the highway only mileage would be, but I suspect 3-5 mpg better.

1989 300CE (W124, M103) with 85K.
I got 20mpg (75% high way, 25%city). Normally the counter reaches ~290 miles when the reserve light goes off. One time from Houston to Dallas, the car made surprisingly ~26mpg. Need another long trip to know highway mileage better. I have to add that at the moment my EHA leaks a bit. Perhaps after fixing I can get better MPG. Will report then. Have a nice day!

No Idea...
I've always lived by the rule of. "If you can afford to drive a Mercedes, why should you be concerned with fuel mileage to begin with ?" So I go by this rule with all of mine, as well as my other cars. Someone once asked me what kinda fuel mileage I get, in one of my Lamborghini Countach. My response was simply, " At two hundred miles per hour, or at one hundred miles per hour?" He just shrugged, and walked away... I was amply entertained for the afternoon, and had some laughs about it with my Fiance' while we drove around wasting gas all day, in the car. She heard his question, while she was in the car, and asked me when I got in if the guy seemed to be a bit slow or something..,"There goes Rainman". Kinda cruel we both knew that, but it was too, much to resist at the time, and we were within the sound proof confines of the car. I know my fuel mileage in my Tractor trailer, is something like 7 miles per gallon. This is only because of taxes, and staring at the fuel gauge, and others all day for so much time. Also, to plan trips, and stops.

Truckinik - It's not so much that some of us on this board can afford to drive a mercedes, because some of us didn't pay a whole lot for ours. While you can afford some of these nice cars brand new, I paid a mere $4000 for mine which, while it's in good condition, is 20 years old. I know people who buy honda civics and ford escorts and pay three or more times that for their car new.
The point is that a good number of us are still penny pinchers. Hell, why else are we here discussing how to diagnose and repair our own cars if we are more than able to pay the outrageous labor costs associated with repairing any car? I'll be honest. I was 17 years old the first time I picked up a wrench, and it definately wasn't for pure enjoyment.
