#15 of 19 R320 by cjd9997 Jan 25, 2009 (10:47 am)
Just bought a 08 with 17k miles that is pretty loaded and drove it four hours home. I got 25mpg on the way back. Pretty stunning for a car this big. Replies to this message: wopel (Jan 25, 2009 11:10 am)

Replying to: cjd9997 (Jan 25, 2009 10:47 am) I drove my 320 from MD to FL with a loaded cargo box on top, and filled to the brim inside - going 75-80 and got 25+ mpg. It's a marvel. Around town, stop and go can be down to 20, but average 22.5+ in day-to-day driving.
#17 of 19 Mpg report of R350 after first tank by johnwang378 Sep 22, 2009 (7:17 pm)
Bought a 07 R350 4Matic on labor day weekend. I got 24 mpg on highway. For first tank of gas, I got 20 mpg on the mix of highway and local. I was surprised to see such high number for a car this big.
#18 of 19 Mpg after 1st year by ctdan Sep 25, 2009 (5:10 am)
I've had my 08 R350 for about 14 months mostly driven around town by wife but I was getting approx 17 in town and 22-24 on hwy on the stock tires (Continental Contact). I had to replace those crummy treads after only 15k and a few months ago put on a set of Toyo All Country. Now smoother ride and bump in mpg of about 2 mpg for both in town and on hwy miles.
