Having a bit of seat time in the MLcdi I can say it is a delight to drive. I'm very confused about the fuel mileage recorded by C&D. 19 is the low end of the rating. this thing is rated 27 on the highway. It's not unusual for most to squeeze out a couple of gallons above the top rating in a Benz. for example i commonly have owners tell me they are getting 23 in the ML350 on interstate driving. If this truck can't consistently average above 22, then I would not pay the premium on the sticker of $1,000 and the .40 each time at the pump. diesel is way pricier here compared to regular fuel. go figure?
