S320 CDi MPG

[Naraic]

56.50 l = 12.43 gallons.

12.43/600 = 48.27 mpg...that's impressive.

 

[Wighty]

600 miles = 965 kilometres /56.5 litres = 17.08 km/litre which seems highly unlikely I think ? (48.25 MPG)
1 Km/litre = 2.825 MPG.....
Could be wrong, maybe a very efficient car?

My Km reference was a speed related joke to take him below national speed limits . I'll try harder next time to make it funny

No it was funny, honest! I wasn’t replying to you Wighty, just I replied to thread just after you (if that makes any sense!)

3.78 is the top hit from google and .... (3.78 may be US Gallon conversion)

Yes ... 3.78 litres in a US gallon. Craig seems to forget which side of the Atlantic we live

So sharing my experience.
When I bought my s210 yr 2000. I’ve done from Edinburgh, to Near Glasgow then Gone on m74,m6 alll the way until West Sussex, with avg. 60-70mph with help of cruise control and I got at the end of the journey 47mpg for a 3.2cc and heavy car.. I think it was very cheap I paid 70£ and still had a 1/4 Of tank left

The 320 cdi S class can be very economical as I have now found thatI am able to travel from SETE on the med in France to Cherboug on one tank of fuel at an average speed of 70mph, gives an average mpg of just under 50, regulary see 49-50 mpg shown on Bournemouth to London run. I am very happy with this sort of consumption.

Which goes to show how much extra drag there is from a 4 wheel drive set up & aerodynamics. A steady 70mph in my R320 will see low 30s mpg

I think you mean that you never exceeded 70mph at any point because to do so would be illegal, right? But a high average speed...?

£70 at £1.239/ litre makes 56.5 litres. 600 miles using 56.5 litres makes 10.6 miles per litre. Multiply by 3.78 = 40.1mpg. Very impressive.

yes your right it would be illegal.....must of slipped with my finger when typing....
