RE: 99 ml 320
Poor gas mileage could be number of things. I can name a few to check- Spark plugs, spark plug wires, air filter,fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel line, fuel injectors. The engine is basically a big air pump so your consumption depends on a good fuel to air ratio. A lot of people ignore dirty air filters. The plugs, plug wires, and air filter should all be part of a normal tune up. If youhave not done that in a while, that might be all you need.

I have a 99 ML320, 97,000 miles. I notice a pretty significant difference in mileage between winter and summer. Now that it has warmed up a bit here in Wisconsin, my mileage has improved.Highway mileage at 70 mph will be about 21-22, and city about 16-17. If I run with the cruise set at 65 mph vs 70 mph, there is a noticeable drop off in mileage. I do keep it in pretty good tune, and drive it rather reasonably. Given the size and power of that vehicle, I can't complain too much about that kind of mileage.

I have a 98 ML320 with 227K km and still get 33-34km/l in city and 43km/l on hwy at 115kph. Make sure your air filter, fuel filter,plugs and wires are all good and always use 91 octane fuel. Less than 91 and engine efficiency drops off.
