2008 Mercedes-Benz R-Class Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Pleasantly surprised by first tankful. 16.2 mpg in the city. Mostly used "comfort" setting which starts out in 2nd gear and shifts early. With this nonaggressive profile, city driving economy is improved. Premium gives better gas mileage than regular (about 5% on comparable tankfuls). On Comfort setting, no difference in performance is noted. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2008	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	It easily gets to 20 mpg on highway. About 18 on mixed driving see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review

2007	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	15mpg city....25 mpg highway....combined is around 17-18 mpg. Not bad considering how heavy this car is. Of course i am very light to the pedal trying to keep my mpg high. Gas is too expensive nowadays so if i don't need to be fast, i am keeping it steady. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review

2007	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	15 mpg average. Not good see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2007	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Pretty poor for a 3.5L. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2007	4dr SUV 302-horsepower 5.0L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	F-E is poor because of the weight to power ratio. The vehicle is heavy. With the available power, it is easy to drive faster and to maneuver through slower traffic. Frequent acceleration results in lower gas mileage. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
