The 500 will get 20 to 21 mpg on NON-ethanol gas(which can be hard to fine) or 17 to 18 on that other stuff they force on the American public. It runs great, handles great, rides great, and we feel safe in it. We will pay the price.
I actually was comparing driving the 500 instead of a motor home or big pickup and camper trailer.

Didn't miss a thing. I was comparing the mileage of the 500 SEL with a Sprinter RV.
So you don't feel safe in the 300D even though MB spent millions in off-set crash tests and the first use of high strength steel?
