What’s the fuel consumption like on the ML, assuming it’s the more common 320 (M112) engine?
The ML500 I have sucks the juice. I didn’t expect it to be frugal, but after three tanks and a fairly light touch I’m barely getting in the top 16s. I realize there’s a lot of hardware in that drivetrain which directly affects fuel economy, but I was wondering what the M112 did in the same chassis. -D > On Jun 17, 2019, at 10:39 AM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > Thanks, she wants a hatchback or something similar for her dogs to jump in > and out and to ride in back.
