Since my driving is about 50-50 city and highway, I average about 20-21 mpg, using premium fuel. All highway is 29-30mpg and all city is 14-15mpg. see full Mercedes-Benz S-Class review
2007 0 While on long trips at 70-80mph I average 32mpg around town it never goes better than 24mpg. Easy on the pedal sure shows results but fully loaded the thing shifts like a two door sports. see full Mercedes-Benz S-Class review

Many people probably decided on a Kia, and specifically a Sportage over other makes and models because of the advertised fuel economy numbers. Since day one, this vehicle ALWAYS, I want to stress ALWAYS, underachieves advertised mpg numbers. Took 2 round trips that were 360 miles one way, ALL highway, and best mpg were 26.2. That is 6 mpg LESS than advertised, and even with new EPA ratings, still 4 less. When driving a combination of 1/2 highway, 1/2 suburbs, attain 21-23 mpg which is less than "combined" mpg rating. Haven't driven an entire tank of city driving, but after measuring MPG for mostly suburb driving, get 17-19 mpg which is 3-5 mpg less than advertised city rating. Horrible. see full Kia Sportage review
