Great car on fuel considering what the standard petrols do. |

My previous MA averaged 8.7 but this was mainly highway work.
It dropped to around 11.0 when it was regularly used in town traffic. New MB looks to be delivering similar numbers.

around town - current average 8.7lt/100km on the computer thingy over 3000kms (but there is 15km of freeway to/form work each day and I leave real early to avoid sitting in traffic queues). Computer occasionly flips to avg of 8.7lt/100km.
Highway - last trip 698 kms between fills with 500+km of highway driving gave 8.8lt/100km (hmmm, must have that rapid blast back up the mountain ......) Fuel fills - Highway (mostly) = 8.8, 7.7, ...and 8.6 when brand new!! (bringing it home from Syd) Around town (newest to oldest) = 8.3, 9.1, 9.4, 10.3, 9.3, 9, 9,9.2, 9.3, Avg over 7200kms = 9lt/100km....But, generally getting better with more miles. On the way down the coast the computer said 900+kms for a tank of p-e-t-r-o-l. Makes me wonder what a simple cruise to MEL will yield. So I would concur with 9 around town, and high 7's/low 8's on highway. |
