Hate to say this...but I underestimated how bad the MPG would be on the S5. It stated 14/22 and I was hoping on averaging 16-17 (Since I did mostly City driving at the time). After owning it for less than year, I never really got anything better than 13MPG overall. The only time I got good mileage was the two times I took the car to Vegas. Got around 24-25MPG.

In the C-Class I average 24 overall now. When I take it to Vegas I get about 29-30.
I see, very nice S5 for sure. Why mpg is so important to you? Is it your only car/daily driver?

Why C350? There is a very nice alternative, F30 I assume you got a very nice lease deal on merc?
