The article has been updated to include UK mpg. Typically, if a vehicle is a European specific model, we don't bother converting for US. Here's a great tool for quick fuel conversions: http://www.onlineconversion.com/fuel_consumption.htm

Audi and BMW don't have to keep up. Mercedes Benz is my a go-to brand.

"Still, the competition (Audi, BMW) better keep up lest they leave Mercedes alone to become the go-to brand for consumption-conscious premium brand customers." Ever heard of BMW?s EfficientDynamics?? They reached the same fuel consumption about 2 years ago? As iceman says, MB is more the go-to brand among the 3. Please don?t just copy/paste the bulls*** of the constructors?press releases.

WHy are mercedes and audi the only one who also make e and BlueEFFICIENCY models of petrol cars? Such as the c180 and the audi a4, the older one, 2.0 TFSIewich did 7.1L/100km. It only didn't had 200 hp, but 168, and a 0-60 time of 8.3 sec and a top of 230 km/h or 143.75 mph
