I had a single tank last 510 miles during my ownership of a 2001 E320 Est petrol, 35.5mpg overall from it's 65 litre tank. It was very low on fuel when I refilled it, as I needed 65.01 L to fill it !
If I hadn't had to suffer 2 hours driving through the middle of London between M4 and Canary Wharf during the trip then I reckon it would have been over 36mpg.
This trip was from Canary Wharf to a shooting ground deep in the countryside in Reading (5 miles of country lanes) then to Tiverton in Devon and then back to Canary Wharf. Both the London parts took an hour at an average speed of 15mph.
