What is the fuel consumption of the Mercedes-Benz E300?
2 Answers
The Mercedes-Benz E300 has 12 models currently on sale, including the Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2022 Facelift II E300L Premium, Sport Fashion, Sport Premium, Fashion, Luxury, Sport Luxury, Sport Fashion, and others. Models equipped with a 258-horsepower engine have an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.55L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity is the same for different models of the Mercedes-Benz E300. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models equipped with a 258-horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 66L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 66/7.55*100=874KM. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in low temperatures, the engine's computer controls higher idle speeds to warm up the engine, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz E300 for two or three years, mainly commuting in the city during weekdays. The fuel consumption is indeed quite high in traffic jams, reaching around 12-13 liters. However, it's a pleasant surprise on weekends when driving on the highway—with cruise control engaged, it stabilizes at around 7 liters. Turning on the air conditioning in summer has a noticeable impact on fuel consumption, increasing it by 1-2 liters in the city. Personal driving habits also play a crucial role; a friend of mine drives aggressively, and his E300 often consumes up to 14 liters in urban areas. Overall, my car averages between 9.5-10.5 liters per 100 kilometers. A full tank of 95-octane gasoline can cover over 600 kilometers, and the maintenance cost is fairly standard for this class of vehicle.
