Amazing figures. But what figures will the driver that drives under "everyday" circumstances achieve? It's Incredible the lengths manufacturers are going to, to improve efficiency of their cars. "Tires with reduced rolling resistance" how exactly does that work? Is it a different compound, diffrent pressure? What? And when they need to be replaced, where do you buy new ones? Walking into your local tyre fitment centre - "Good day, I would like to buy a set of "Reduced rolling resistance" tyres for my S-Class please!" I'm sure the sales person behind the counter might just pick up the phone and call the local Nuthouse to come and take you away!!! Ha Ha Ha!!

Most of the time its the tire compound that makes the big difference, however some tire manufacturers do recommend higher pressures for their low-resistance tires. Low-rolling resistance tires aren't new or hard to find. Grab some Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus's and you'll be happy all the way to the bank...until they reach 30% tread life and become hard as a rock!

I'm all for efficiency gains across the board ... but IMHO this should have always been called the Z class not the S class ... Z for Zero in the style ratings
