Could be a possibility. The car will be used around here as moms DD and for the summer will be driven down to our place in Florida… As if we need another car down there.:lol:lol:lol. So its about a 1,200 trip one way so I dont know about the 12MPG unless we fly each time. We have really been looking into the 2009 E350, E550 and CLS500.:thumbup:thumbup:thumbup
