Brudder thanks for your kind words in assisting to alleviate my heartache, actually it's not worth it if you ask me cos it's drinking habits worse then my GTR & slower than GTR plus aircon crap as compared to GTR hence regretted buying it. Only good thing going for it to me is that it's more comfortable than the GTR :Cry:

aiyo.

gtr is purely race car bro.

you want the prestige then its definitlely your c63.

I'm doing abt 10km/l on my CLC180... but based on displacement method, its more at 9.5km/l, which is probably more reflective or reality, i think

[Guest mile]

I'm driving C180K BE ... 2600+ km now on the odo..... 3 tanks averaged about 8.5 km/L

50% highway 50% urban.

Everything stock.

i guess i am heavy footed......

[Guest symphony]

6 weeks C180BE, odo 3000Km, average 8km/l, 30% highway, 70% city

[Guest xtrocious]

An update:

C200k with just over 6000km, averages around 8.5km/l

[Guest bbwannabe]

Hmmm.... now that I have sold my W203 I thought I can share with you all my long term track of my FC. (See attached PDF, just for fun!)

Feels like army driver some how. Haha...

Present W211, about 8.5KM/L normal footed-ness, 45% urban, 550% expressway.

Hi to all,

am a newbie in here. Would be collecting my ride (W204 C180) pretty soon and to join in the discussion with you fellas.

Does anyone has any observations on the fuel consumption for the Blue Efficiency W204 models so far?

Cheers.

I am getting ard 7.6-8L/100km on my C180 CGI. 80% highway. Not bad in my opinion...did nearly 700km plus before indicator lights up :becky:

[Guest rssid]

Lucky lucky i'm getting approx 640-660 per tank on a even mix of hwy and normal rds

I mean my mileage is 1000km onli. Been averaging 8.3km/L which ain't great but maybe mine is still running in and always kena alot of stop-go traffic along Bkt Timah.

Yrs is a CGI or kompressor model?

CGI, stock as a bone and running on Caltex 95 Techron.

[Guest mile]

my C180K 1.6SC also getting about 8.8-9km/L only.... about 75% city / 25% highway.

My full tank can get me about 480-500 before light come on.

One thing is, this car's fuel gauge is darn accurate. I tried running the tank down to needle almost touching empty.... when pumping, i was shock when petrol kiosk's meter hit 65L .... which means i have only 1L of petrol inside.

And when the fuel nozzle jump by itself... at most i can top up another $0.50 .... no more.

Which means the fuel pipe is really straight. And this car is really German straight. Full is full, empty is empty.

I also do notice using RON98 gives better mileage.

This explains why yr FC is about 8.3km/litre. CGI model FC is higher compare with kompressor model. My fren E class kompressor model FC about 10km/litres.

Strange that CGI consumption is higher.

CGI stands for Charge Gasoline Injection (or direct injection ... similar to VW/Audi's FSI), which should give better mileage and emission compared to non direct injection engines in theory.

I would think that CGI has better mileage and power.

Mine Jul 10 C180 is coming 7000km...FC seems to get better after 5k km..

[Guest extra6]

My W204 CGI is averaging 9.5km/litre now, close to 4,500km. Highest hit is 10.2km/litre. Average mileage is always more than 550km. All on 95RON with 50city/50highway.

Agreed FC is getting better at every pump.

[Guest io5885]

W204 C200 Kompressor Sep09 17" AMG rep, hurricane filter

avg 10.2km/l

used to get 9.5km/l

consumption got better after resetting the ECU as taught by other bros in the forum.

Do try it,gentleman.

it worked for me. :smile:

Pumper's mileage per L acheived is highly desirable (7.6-8L/100km)! That is quite close to the technical specs. But strangely, the rest of responses from other forumers are registering a lower mileage acheived so far, which leads me to suggest that everyone has a different driving pattern, perhaps.

So pumper, have you done anything to your C180 CGI so far? What's your driving pattern like (light-footed)?

Can anyone also share any opinions on whether how you "treat" your car during the initial 1000km (running in, if MB cars actually do need that?) could determine the future of your car's appetite in the long run?

Cheers guys! :hand:

[Guest blackmercs]

Guys when reply please indicate yr ride is CGI or Kompressor model.

[Guest st8800]

I'm getting 8.85km per litre for my '09 E200k on Caltex 95. 75% highway / 25% city driving.
