Mercedes-Benz SL Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	2dr Hardtop conv. supercharged 493hp 5.4L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Awful! Big V-8 gets approximately 14 mpg, if I'm lucky! see full Mercedes-Benz SL review

Mercedes-Benz SL Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2002	2dr Hardtop conv. 302-horsepower 5.0L V8 5-speed automatic RWD	Not great. I averaged about 16mpg in around town driving, about 22 on the freeways. Best mileage observed was in Wyoming, 24.5, coming downhill eastbound from the Grand Tetons. that said, people shouldn't buy this car expecting a Miata, in any way other than Two Doors and a Convertible Top. see full Mercedes-Benz SL review

Mercedes-Benz SLK Real Gas Mileage: Cons
