Boy! am I glad to see this post. I was begining to think there was something wrong with my driving with people reporting 20+ MPG with ML500's. I'm waiting to see someone reporting 30 MPG in a 320.
I was getting consistantly in the mid to high 17's in my 98ML320 and I now get in the high 15's to mid to high 16's with my 05ML500. I use the Miles/Gallons at fill up method but find the trip computer to be fairly accurate also. This is with about 40% town and 60% highway driving.

'02 ML500, 72 K miles. I get around 17-19 mpg in mixed driving (and I drive like a bat outta Hell!). I got slightly over 20 mpg going to Vegas and back (cruise control most of the way) over Christmas.
mileage drops with the cold weather to the extent of 1-2 per gallon, what i dont feel however as people say is any significant difference in accelaration
