Kaleb,
Copy of my gas tracking spread sheet is below. Moving average is total miles driven divided by total fuel consumed. Will slowly go lower as more miles are driven. The displayed MPG didn’t occur until the very end of the trip. The drive down b the numbers was 32.36 (656/20.27). drive home was 31.27 (722/23.09). So we shall see as time goes on. Please note that I cleaned the accumulated soot from air path when I serviced the oil cooler seals and replaced the leaky PCV assembly. -----Original Message----- From: Mercedes <mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com> On Behalf Of Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes Sent: Sunday, August 28, 2022 8:46 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Cc: Kaleb Striplin <ka...@striplin.net> Subject: Re: [MBZ] First Long Trip in 2012 ML-350 BT I find it real hard to believe it really got that mileage. Would be real curious what it is hand calculated. About the best our GL will get us around 22-23 and it’s not bluetec. A e class CDI might get that. I have heard those trip computers are sometimes optimistic. If it really did get that mileage that would be amazing. Hopefully it did and I am wrong.
