Just had my first 'real' run in my E Class 350 CDI, a week in Weston-Super-Mare (what a dump, but as a base there's a few decent places around within an hour's drive). Drove down from Leeds and then day trips around the environs. Average mpg for the week a shade under 48. On the return journey went via Burnley to a family do, a steady run up the M5/M6. As it was Sunday, very quiet, not holding anyone up and we had plenty of time, I drove to Burnley at a steady 60 mph (alien concept for me) and returned just short of 55 mpg. For a car with 265 horse power, or whatever they call them these days, phenomenal acceleration when needed, and a £170.00 VEL, I was mightily impressed.
Petrol just doesn't enter the equation for me. Anyone who says petrol is not far behind are deluding themselves, in terms of both economy and performance.
