A 250 fuel consumption question

[pomm001]

Pondering the idea to replace my old A class with one of the above, the more reading I do on the fuel consumption the more confused i get

The engine, 211 hp petrol has combined fuel consumption figure of 47 mpg
Logic suggests that getting 40 mpg on a reasonable run should be achievable, which would be acceptable.

On asking a few people who actually drive them ( mostly car sales people ) state mid to late 20's.
I though this to be quite low not unless you drive like a tw*t, (I may have answered my own question)

I don't drive too fast and regularly get 27 mpg out of my SLK 5.5 on a run

Does anyone actually run on of these on a daily basis who could offer their findings


Many thanks

Not sure >>>this<<< is any help as it doesn't show real world figs for the A250.

I'd reckon on about 80% of the official figures judging from the others.

On most MB models the consumption was one of the most accurate in that report.
