My MB figures have proven to be quite accurate. The datasheet promised me a combined figure of 19.8mpg. I am getting 18 in town and 23 on the motorway at legal(ish) figures.
I was expecting a lot worse so the documents proved true for me.
Of course we could start a conversation about the mprt or miles per rear tyres. This is slightly shocking. I have flattened a rear pair already within 5000 miles and they were almost new when I received the car. I have not even turned off the traction control system and done a Clarkson for heavens sake ?
I think they need to introduce a new test to the system to cover this shocker.
