#4 of 16 2006 C280 mileage by dfc3 Jun 13, 2006 (9:25 am)
I'm getting 19-20 regularly in city/suburban driving. I'm getting 27ish on the highway

Mixed 25.0 Lowest ever 23.0   Computer (it's accurate)   City (21 to 22) Hwy 75mph all interstate - 27.5 Hwy 60 mph around 30   All better than I hoped for when I bought it and better than EPA ratings of 20/25.
#6 of 16 06 230 sport mileage by muttbenz Oct 29, 2006 (7:57 am)
My 06 has 37,500 miles. With 60% highway driving I average 26-28 mpg. I haven't reset the overall mpg setting on the computer. It indicates 27.4 mpg since new. On all-highway trips the mpg has been 30-31.5.

Replying to: pf_flyer (Jun 12, 2006 8:17 am) I just got a 2002 C230K SportCoupe, and I'm averaging about 27 hwy, 16 city. I'm no leadfoot - any ideas why my city mileage is so low? The car only has 41.5k on it, so no way it could need new plugs yet.
#8 of 16 Mid-Grade Gas by bowgar Feb 16, 2007 (4:12 pm)
I just purchased a 2001 C320. Has anyone tried regular or midgrade gas? I talked to a local owner of a 2003 and he said he used mid-grade with no problems, and even regular worked O<, but mpg was reduced.

I live downtown and mostly drive downtown. I see on average 20.4 or so.
#10 of 16 C32 by riku Feb 22, 2007 (6:57 pm)
i have an 04 C32, and about 75% highway miles. I avg about 21 mpg. The best I got on the freeway was 27.0.   I'm not bragging or complaining
#11 of 16 2007 C230 MPG by fourplay56 May 06, 2007 (1:07 pm)
For my trip back & forth SF-LA: With the average speed 70~75 (calculated by the meter, though I always driving at 80 on I-5 and 75-80 on 101), the best MPG I had is 27.3 when driving on I-5, and a bit less on 101 owing to too much hill going up and down, thus I got 26.6.   During city/hwy mix mode, it's around 21~22, depends on the traffic situation.
#12 of 16 2001 C240 six speed by schatzie May 21, 2007 (10:31 am)
C240 never recorded below 20 mpg in town in runs of five miles. But these were easy runs. Highest recorded on Hwy was 32 on a 190 mile trip with AC off. Overall the computer recorded 23+, never reset. I still feel the tank was way too small and this made me nervous looking for stations trying to get out of dodge when hurricanes hit. I had to carry two 2 1/2 containers of gas in the trunk which is no way cool since gas stations are soon out or the stations are closed. You need a car that will go 450 miles and have reserve left to get out of Florida. I have a C230 now plus another car I will evacuate with. I'll leave the C230 to fare for it's self.
#13 of 16 2005 C230 Sport Sedan by lawman1967 Aug 23, 2008 (9:32 pm)
Just bought a 2005 C230 Kompressor Sport sedan with 40,000 miles. In a round trip from Pasadena to Bakersfield (120 miles each way) I got an average of 33 MPG. This is going over the Grapevine and with speed (cruise control) always at or near 75.   Going North it was 34.8 MPG, coming South was 32.1.   Needless to say, I am delighted. I actually was planning to buy a new 09 Corolla and picked the C230 instead based on reports from others of low 30s MPG.
