S212 E250 Wagon (2.0 Petrol engine)

Drove from Woking, Surrey to Port Gaverne, Cornwall on the August bank holiday Monday. Route was M4/M5/A30. 244 miles in 3 hrs 45mins at 35mpg. Average Speed 65 mph.

The traffic leaving Cornwall, north east, up the M5 was solid for 50 miles but going into Cornwall, it was the best I have ever known :) I would normally expect that route to take me near on 5 hrs.

I've only got my CLK 320CDI recently, and only on my first tank of diesel, unfortunately its mainly cold drives to & from work 5 miles each way.

So far the trip is on 28.4mpg. Looking forward to a long motorway run to see how it differs.

No, I think it's not too bad for such a heavy car, but I was talking to the owner of the same model and he was running an average of around 40. Mine is 'powered by Brabus ' so maybe that has something to do with it, I don't honestly know. I have had 42 on a long journey from Cairnryan to Preston, starting from warm at Cairnryan, short journeys really are a killer for a big 6 cylinder diesel, sometimes from cold 11 mpg has been observed!

Yes their mpg really suffers when they are running cold. I Run a grill block on all my diesels all year round, the temps never suffer, but they warm up quicker!

My new 215 55 rarely gets above 11 around town on average :(

What grille block do you use?

Patented ©FotiGrillBlock

Not really, just a piece of card on the inside of the bonnet grill, I leave a section free on the lower half for the intercooler.

As the days get colder I block off part of the radiator with a piece of hard plastic sheeting. I did ask on this forum if it should be partially blocked vertically or horizontally but I didn't get a reply.

I would say horizontally, stopping cold air getting into the engine bay is more the purpose in my eyes, as the stat is closed when the engine is cold.
