Nice Article in Globe!

There is an article in today's Globe and Mail talking about fuel efficiency in the B200. Interesting read - I guess I am not alone in making a little game during my daily commutes to see how low I can get the L/100km reading!

Nice article. Thanks for sharing. I too play the game of how little fuel can I consume on my commute today?

Cheers,

Very nice article and should make us all reflect on our driving habits.

Not only is it a good article with an underlying green message, but it provides MB Canada with the type of advertising that money cannot buy.
It should be good for more B Class sales in Canada and therefore, good for the environment too.

Yes, nice article. The only issue is that the OBC is optimistic by 5-7%, but for self-comparative purposes, it is fine.
