I've just had my SLK diseasel in for it's first service at 1 year/10,800 miles.
I've had it back almost a week and there's a big improvement in mpg - I'm getting a solid 62mpg in the mornings (previously I could only manage this in very slow traffic if I really kept a light foot on the throttle and "tickled" it (as a friend of mine says).
What's caused this I wonder? I doubt it's had a new air filter - so just the new oil?
