C220 cdi auto w203 coupe, 2004
Hi guys, I Thought it would be interesting to hear what mpg some of you are getting (petrol & diesel) Some friends of ours have a 230clk auto and regulary get 35 mpg which i think is pretty damn good! of course it will depend on the type of driving, long or short trips, traffic & how heavy your right foot is! but am just interested in the average & on a run. I own a w reg c220 cdi auto estate with 151,000 on the clock and on a round trip to work and back of 80 miles with a mixture of lanes a & b roads have got 48.44 and 48.54 based on 4.55 litrs/gallon (VERY PLEASED INDEED) on two separate days so i know its right and by filling tank to the brim is best way too tell if you try this, not by o/b computer. Regards Richard.

w210 320cdi according to the computer the last 1250 miles averaged 40.1 mpg.
Not bad I think, just the ridiculous 1550 euro road tax to get my head around!

Besstus - your 48mpg is very good indeed. I have a 220cdi auto estate and that is returning an average 42mpg on a brim to brim since new - now with 12K on the clock. I hope it improves! I run in 'C' mode but may try 'S' to see if there is any difference. I do not cane it but keep to 70-80 on motorways and generally not exceeding the limit elsewhere.

Last week or two,

Around town - often 40mpg plus
Long runs - often 50mpg plus

Off the OBC I know, but unless I get a move on, thats what I get.

PS don't sit in traffic much 'cause of the hours I travel in

Its a C220cdi C coupe with some Millers in every tank
And of course, its very warm at the moment which makes a difference I believe

Can't really complain

And its in for a B service next week, so that could help further!

I think i am getting about 22 - 24 ish around the urban cycle
and about 30-34 on a run out of my S Class 320 W140.

Not too bad for a very large, heavy vehicle with a 3.2 petrol engine and 150,000 miles behind it, i think.

REPLY TO SURVEYS POST. 48 mpg for a c220 cdi estate auto with 151,000k is very good considering our previous car was a 52 plate 170 cdi lwb manual a class which was returning 52 mpg on the very same journey! Your figure of 42 mpg was more what i was expecting for my c220, as for your mpg improving if its been the same (42 mpg) from new then you would expect it to get a little better, but please bear in mind your newer c220 is probably heavier and produces alot more horsepower than my 9 year old w202.

Besstus - My C220 has gradually improved at almost every fill up from 39mpg to 42mpg since I started checking at 500 miles. Hopefully this may continue. Previous diesels that I have owned have not really achieved their best until a considerable mileage has been done - 20-30K+

Anywhere between 18 and 29 mpg depending on fuel (LPG or petrol), roof up or roof down and how enthusiastic I feel.

Roof down, heavy right foor and running on LPG can get very thirsty, but nor too expensive. (LPG at 51p/litre).

Roof up, gentle cruising on petrol can return 20mpg, but if wanted to drive like that I wouldn't have bought an SL.

The current hot spell means I have been able to use a tank of fuel without having to put the roof up and I have found it costs a couple of miles to the gallon. Well worth it to feel the breeze in my beard.
