96 S500 Fuel consumption
Hi,
I was checking this site for a couple of weeks and it seems it is the best place to share and learn,i have a 96 s500 just bought 3 days ago and i noticed that it has a very fuel consumption compared to the 96 c140 i already have so my concern was,what are the main common things that cause that?

How bad are we talking? A W140 S500 is a big heavy car with a big thirsty engine. I would be surprised to see one running perfectly get much better than 20 mpg. Fueleconomy.gov predicts 14 city and 19 highway. An economy car it isn't.

If I am understanding this they are going about 62 miles on a quarter tank of fuel while averaging 86 mph. Sounds a little excessive to me but I am used to 95/95 E300s. How how many liters does it take to fill car up after run?

I thought about that post some more at work today. I think he's saying a 1/4 tank gets him 100 km. Assuming about a 20 gallon tank, that's about 12 mpg. Not great, but I've heard 560 SEL owners say they get about that mileage. Any 140 owners have experience to contribute?
