quick check... for c180... what is the recommended fuel to pump? 95 or 98?

Depending on whether your car is a Kompressor or the current M270 derived turbo it will need 95 or higher.

95 will be the best option unless you are drive an expensive marque. (Porsche, Lambo or Ferrari)

I see. I will assume that c180 avant-garde is krompressor?

You should have a manual, or at least find out from the seller about the car. Surely you know which model is the one that you bought? 

95 is safe bet, but some will swear that 98 improves the performance.

Personally, I use 95 mostly and 'reward' my car with some Vpower once in a while..

I tried 95 when driving my R172 SLK and that yielded me 450km before amber light. 98 yielded me 550km with better butt dyno feel.

Yeah, apart from absolute numbers, if the better fuel gives a tad more power, that can be worth the difference too.

Am using Shell 95 and doing around 9.5km per litre.

From my understanding, the use of 95 versus 98 has little improvement on fuel economy. More important probably to ensure your engine is upkept well and in good working order, along with:

- proper tire pressure, properly tuned engine: https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/maintain.jsp

-  frequent maintenance will also help address issues like clogged filters which affect economy. https://sgcarservicing.com/oil-change/ Pretty surprising, but for example, a malfunctioning exhaust also can affect your fuel economies.

Sorry am new and noob here

W205 C180 2017 9G 

Clocking around 2000KM recently

Had to travel long distance for reservist for 1 week , 90 % highway 10% neighbourhood which yields me around 7 L/ 100KM. Seems good. However, for my daily driving to work with no highway, usually I am seeing 12 to 13L/100KM. And for short heavy traffic situations I am seeing very high numbers like 17 to 18 L/100KM. I am not sure if there's something wrong with my car or it is just very thirsty in traffic jam. Noticed by default if I stop at traffic light, meter shows I am consuming 20L/100KM, and my start trip FC meter would tick slowly upwards even if I am not moving. Is this normal? Am driving with comfort mode, and no heavy foot (even if I want, work traffic does not permit anyway).

It might be due to slow traffic thus not travelling on max gear. Mine can achieve around 10KM per Litre. Non Highway drive. Average speed 80km per hour.

Seems very high to me. Mine coming to 300KM, 100% neighbourhood gives me 10-12L/100KM. 70% Highway and 30% neighbourhood gives me 7.5L/100KM. My average for the 300KM is around 9L/100KM, 50% Highway and 50% neighbourhood.
