Modern cars are amazing on fuel, especially diesels.
Now I know nobody buys an SL350 for it’s fuel economy, but I’ve been amazed that on a long run on an uncongested M’way ( if that’s possible these days) at a steady 70ish mph mine returns about 31mpg, a figure that any 1.6 petrol would’ve averaged 20 years ago!
the SLK250 cdi seems to sell quite well from what I can tell, without the soundtrack.
Good skills.I’ve done alright from time to time.
Like SL55 Mark I’m lucky to see 21 but can’t complain!
One of my colleagues at work has a 530e which he’s just lent to our accountant who managed to wring 80mpg out of it the first 3 days he had it!
Perfect!I'm sorry but, I have been seduced by the dark side and cannot be the good lad I should.
I have moments of goody two shoes and have once seen 48 mpg on the computer but, the POWEEEER of the dark side (in best James Earl Brown voice, lol.), is awesome.
I think it's why I love diesels so much because, I CAN, have my cake and eat it. The torque, oh man the torque!!!!
Basically I just don't have the patience when all that power is just under my foot and I don't have to put up with all the guys on an economy drive or the old dotters.
In the venacular, GIT OOT MA WAY PAL! (English translation can be provided for anyone struggling, lol), and yes I know, 59 going on 17.
