Mercedes-Benz M-Class Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr SUV turbocharged 240hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Upper 20's on highway and mid-20's in suburbia from a vehicle that weighs 5K lbs. see full Mercedes-Benz M-Class review
2009	4dr SUV turbocharged 210hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Other luxury cars/SUVs require premium gas. Diesel could be same or even cheaper than regular gas and with immense torque and a somewhat light foot I get almost 25Mpg see full Mercedes-Benz M-Class review
2007	4dr SUV turbocharged 215hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	5000 lbs vehicle. Gets 32 mpg on highway up to 75 mph, faster than that mpg drops. 23 to 24 mpg around town see full Mercedes-Benz M-Class review

2007	4dr SUV 302-horsepower 5.0L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Have a V8, so I should have expected, but mpg is averaging about 16 around town. With the current gas prices, I dread going to the pump. $90 to fill up the huge tank. see full Mercedes-Benz M-Class review

2010	4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 390-horsepower 5.7L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	The milleage was terrible , my friend made the same trip as I did with a similar equiped Ford 5.4 L , 4x4 and used 30 % less gas. I rented this truck for a 2 week hunting trip to test it befor buying a new one. I will buy another Ford or GMC. see full Dodge Ram 1500 review
2008	4dr Crew Cab 6.5ft bed 345-horsepower 5.7L V8 5-speed automatic RWD	That hemi drinks fuel... we live at 55-60 while towing and 10mpg is all we hope for... we get that on the flats with no headwind. If you get a hill with a headwind you are looking at 4mpg! Buyer beware! fuel is approaching 5 bucks! see full Dodge Ram 1500 review

2003	4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed 345-horsepower 5.7L V8 5-speed automatic RWD	Not much I don't like about this truck, but MPG with a Hemi combined with heavy loads means 12-13 mpg consistently. Not sure newer trucks would do any better with my 1000 lb load in the back. Highway mileage is only 16-17 at best. see full Dodge Ram 1500 review
2003	4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed 240-horsepower 4.7L V8 4-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	I should have bought the Hemi 5.7L engine. The 4.7 is awful...gutless and I get about 13 mpg in a rural setting and can get about 15 in the highway. I drive very conservatively. see full Dodge Ram 1500 review
