jakeis:

Since getting my '07 ML63 AMG in June '07, I have driven approx. 12,300 miles as my daily driver commuting from NJ into Manhattan. My route involves both highway and congested, bumper-to-bumper and stop & go traffic. I am averaging about a total of 12 mpg, based on my observed 8-9 mpg in city driving and around 15 on the highway. On longer trips involving mostly highway driving I average up to a maximum of 18 mpg.

Other than the pathetic gas mileage that did not really surprise me, I really do enjoy the vehicle in all aspects: aesthetic, performance, quality and all round operation with the vehicle having met or exceeded my expectations. The unintended added benefit is that I am now on a first name basis with several gasoline station attendants along my commuting route....
