Just returned from a 5 day trip to Austria. On the way back we took my Alte Dame to her birthplace,
Sindelfingen Mercedes Werke near Stuttgart.
The total trip was 2.496 km,and she performed perfectly ! I tried to max her,but because of traffic and roadworks i only reached 164 km/h,about 100 mph.
The best mpg i got was 22,5. That really surprised me, because that was in the German hills,and we had a lot of traffic.Speed at that point was anywhere between 80 and 130 km/h average.
In Austria i went up mountains with roads up to 19% climbing.
She used about 0,8 liters of oil during the whole trip.
Enjoy !

Cheap-ass Dutch peanutbutter. Don't leave home without it.
Austrian Apfel strudel.
No words needed.
