SWB G500 owners

[coldtaco]

Any of you been able to compare mpg with the 4 door? You probably accelerate just a tad faster due to the lighter weight? so you probably tend to keep your foot in it longer[:)]

Where's the guy with the three G500's? One was a SWB G500.

mileage.

Is it MarcO in NY who has the three 500s?

Gas mileage, huh? Well it goes something like this. The short answer is that on the highway at 60 average (actually 58.9)in the swb I get 15.5 (over around 1800 miles). Last time I ran the lwb 1400 miles at the same average (59.7) I got 15.2. Vehicles are in great shape and no oil additives - though the swb is running redline and the lwb is running mobil 1. Exactly same tires and rims. Around NYC it is a dead heat at 9.7 to 10.1 mpg. Interestingly the city is lower in the swb. I think that is my fault as I keep my foot in it more because the exhaust sounds so sweet on the swb and so pathetic on the lwb. JMHO.

ALL MACK,


I have 4 Gwagens and I am located in New York City.

A 280GE, G320, Brabus G36 and my G-Cabrio.

My G-Cabrio is located in Georgia, I am waiting for a transporter to pick it up.

It was just featured in a news story with "Marco Benz Descendant of First Gas Automobile Inventor Karl Benz of Mercedes-Benz Joins the U.S. Army".

If you are still interested I have all the original paperwork sales receipt from Brabus that was sold for 175,000 U.S. dollars to the first owner in 1993, a Burmese Prince, by the name of Crown Prince Shwebomin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shwebomin

Take Care,

Van
