Is the Mercedes-Benz E-Class diesel economical? I have a 2.0litre petrol Audi A6, which is not economical!

Hi Janice,

Yes, but perhaps not the most economical in the class. Going on personal experience, a Mercedes-Benz E 200 or E 250 CDI will average in the high forties mpg whereas a BMW 520d or an Audi A6 2.0 TDI should easily get over the 50mpg barrier in everyday driving.
