Among the Mercedes-Benz owners who I know,fuel economy is never mentioned amidst discussions about their cars.That includes family members.
Disposable incomes are so high,it doesn't matter what the price of fuel is.They drive when and wherever they want.Cost matters not.
Upcoming,more stringent CAFE numbers may change things,unless they're politically rolled back.It's wait 'n see.
