I've also read that 80 mpg is more typical.
The higher mpg's are achieved by drafting on motorhomes. "Scout" wrote "Bart Senior" .@. wrote I'd buy a diesel version if it was available in the US. 95mpg is fabulous.

The turbo diesel sits on the back axle and it's a rear wheel drive. 6 speed stick or paddle shift. It's a cool little car. I was pricing one of the convertible models with leather seats, A/C, power windows etc.... 23K Cdn. It's the fuel and manoeuvrability aspect for in city driving that really caught my interest. CM |

No kidding. Would you trust you life to one of these
ar freeway speeds? I noticed there are two other versions, a couple and convertible sports car, and talk of an SUV version. My main interest is in a diesel. It is disgraceful the diesel version is not available in the US. I wonder if I bought one in Canada and drove it down here, if I could get it through DMV. Perhaps I should just register it in Canada?

I've got a video of one hitting a concrete slab at 60 or 70 MPH, the front crumpled just as designed, passenger compartment maintained it's integrity so well that the passenger side door still opened and closed normally, (drivers side opened by would not latch when closed). I think the folks at Mercedes know what they are doing! Cheers Marty |
