Mercedes worst manipulator of EU fuel-economy test, report says


I don't know how you guys can get such good fuel mileage....

Fuel consumption for my Subaru Liberty H6 is 15.8L/100km, and 15.3L/100km for my Mercedes E350. Heavy city driving though.

Fuel consumption for my Subaru Liberty H6 is 15.8L/100km, and 15.3L/100km for my Mercedes E350. Heavy city driving though.

There's the pattern right there: 3 litre+ six cylinder NA engines in heavy city driving plus a Monster behind the wheel. ;)
Sydney traffic is awful with very few true freeways, as I recall from way back in 1999, giving direct access to the CBD.

On another note, I am gutted to see my overall lifecycle fuel consumption pop from 5.9 L/100km to 6.0 over 54 000 km. We've had shocking traffic over the last 2 months. I don't know how I am going to cope. I think I need to take the car on a long trip.
