Was the air on too? The whole way. Non-quantitative observation indicates that the A/C seems to have no negative effect on the fuel consumption. I know that doesn't make sense, but that's been my observation. | ||

mauleskyrocket Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | RE: ML 320CDI Vacation Fuel Mileage I just returned from a 511 mile round trip with my ML 320 CDI. 85% highway cruise at 65-90 mph and 15% stopped as in I95 traffic. MPG tally using the tried and true slow fill to brim when begin and slow fill to brim when return-----26.2. I consider it fantastic for a car of this weight, luxury and complexity. | ||

Marsden Classic MB Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: Capital City USA Vehicle(s): Mercedes-Benz | RE: ML 320CDI Vacation Fuel Mileage ^^ that is good. and about the a/c, I've found little to no effect on either of my MB's. And, of course, compared to the aerodynamic drag from having your windows open, it's a no-brainer.

You are correct in that it does not seem to hurt mileage whatsoever. I still seem to get 18/19 around town in the wagon. How nice to have it cool! | ||
