I have never been able to work out why on a run that you may do often and one day get a super MPG.

I did this when visiting Lilian in Hospital and mostly 24mpg every time when going, and anything from 23 to 29 coming back over the 30 mile trip

Another example, we go to Exeter often, again a 30 mile trip and normally 27, then one day I got this and never again in the 230 SL500

Crazy?!?! There does sometimes seem to be no reason for a sudden shot of economy.

Different times of year? I always get a much improved MPG during the summer months in the last 2 W204's, even with Aircon going.

I've yet to get anywhere near the 55-60MPG I used to get in to W203....the W204's have always been a good 10MPG down....the current W204 is a BE version.....and yet MPG is exactly the same as the non BE I had before it.

My average over both mway and urban is below 30mpg...that's what v6 does I suppose! Not the worst I've seen on here though!

My V6 S class averaged 48.9 on a 170 mile M25/M4 trip to Wales last weekend and 48.1 coming back which included about 15 miles on side roads around Bracknell. Cruise control was set at 70 mph where possible. Overall consumption for the 2000 miles I've had it, is 40.5. That's 1 mpg better than the CLK 200 I used to have.
