It seems that even the later R350 is less road tax than mine.  ???

Hey ho!

It's fortunate that you are a man of almost 'unlimited wealth' Andy. :y :y ;)

£475 to you is probably about the same a £4.75 to me. :-\ :-\ :'(

The trip computer is now showing 21.3 MPG over the last 1400 miles (Mainly used for long journeys)........almost diesel levels of economy. ::) ::) ::) :)

Almost frugal, compared to a big v8 diesel... :y

It has been suggested that a supercharged big block 7.4l Chevy V8 running on LPG would return better mpg and produce fewer emissions for half the running costs of Scanias finest in hgv applications...

 I've had the Merc for 18 months & keeping both was originally the idea. But in practice the Omega just wasn't getting used .... it'd not gone very far at all this last 12 months. Then SWMBO got a new car at Christmas and thought that keeping a Smart & the Merc would be a better combination than two 3 litre cars

Mine is showing 24.5 over the past 9330 miles .... just been to look  ;) ... and that's all kinds of journeys, but mostly commuting 24 miles each way on local roads

As a rough guide I get about 15-17 MPG in traffic....and about 25 MPG on a long run with 'Omega man' levels of traffic. ;D

Top gear (7th) pulls almost 36 MPH for each 1000 RPM, so the old girl has the potential to be economical in the right conditions. :y

From a 'soot chucker'. :o :o :o......I would have thought that 45 MPG was closer to the mark, Andy.

The Trip computer is probably 10% optimistic, too. :D :D ;)
