I think the W204 C300 gets great gas mileage for the size of the engine and weight of the vehicle.

I have a C300 Sport 4Matic and I'm averaging 24 mpg in mixed driving and 27 mpg in my typical 12-mile commute to the office. I also get around 27-28 mpg in highway driving, if I keep the speed at 65 mph on cruise control. I am surprised that the awd system does not reduce the fuel economy, but I think the new 7-spd auto. transmission has a lot to do with that.
