Claimed MPG for all manufacturers these days are misleading as they are obtained in a controlled test environment with no aerodynamic drag.


what a surprise !!!!

I find (and have done across the last quarter million miles) that using cruise control averages out somewhat better than manual pedal control.


same as that.

c220 cdi estate 2001
My very old c220 cdi manual estate does over 60mpg driven gently on the motorway but I would expect about your figures for an auto petrol.

Guys, I got my 2015 GLA45 fore more than a year and been serviced once back in August last year, I think my fuel consumption been high since day one, I used to get 18mpg. Now I get 13mpg, always in C mode and my daily route is 12miles a day and 1/4 is uphill traffic no more than 10mins. What you guys think? What could be wrong?

Pump the tyres up, empty the boot and stop braking
