What's a realistic mpg figure for the Mercedes C-Class?

How many miles to the gallon will I get from a 2005 Mercedes-Benz C-Class 200 1.8 petrol auto?

Hi Rosemary,

According to the official figure, you should be getting 33mpg. Bear in mind though that this is almost a ten-year old car, so its performance in terms of fuel economy may have tailed off. Nothing a good service and oil change wouldn't fix though, along with some decent new tyres.
