- 2008 E 500 A/G Classic colour combination.
Yesterday I filled up the E 500 for the first time. Today I needed to go and do a job for my aged mother who lives about 32 miles away. There is a real mixture on this journey so it's fairly represetative of my type of trip except the 3 miles to type golf club but there won't be much of that anytime soon.
So about 2 miles to get to the other side of town then A road for about 6 miles a stop at the post office then through that town about a mile 5 miles of A road (40MPH) a little bit of ring road short dual carriageway another bit of ring road then short stretch of A road 5 miles of dual carriageway 79ish MPH and then the last section is all 30's and 40's not too much traffic but plenty of roundabouts and traffic lights. so I reset the OBC on leaving and by the time I got home it was sayin 24.1 MPG since start. Over the moon with that but I know it wont last when I get into the car a little more.
