| Re: Economy well, If your uncle is getting an S280,S320, or S420, his fuel economy will probably be better than the S500. My S500 gets about 11-13 Miles Per Gallon. Which is about 320 miles per tank, but since you are in the UK, it will cost more money for fuel for you, unless you drive it as a sunday car, but not as a daily driver.  However, if your uncle can afford gas, and a W140, I say Go For It!  Edited by 1996_S500 4/25/2006 9:45 AM | ||

I just filled it after travelling 504 miles in mixed highway and city driving with 23+ gallons. Averaged 22 miles to the gallon. And yes, I drive like a grandpa, as my wife says. Besides, the 320 doesn't inspire aggressive driving-it's definitely a cruiser. Overall, I am impressed with the range and the mileage considering the weight of the car plus my 260+ lbs. I find my 320 LWB to be reasonable responsive particulary with my new gearbox | |
