@Brokenarrow, Sweet ride! 
My EU spec 2022 Mercedes C200 Coupé 4 Matic averages 7.2 l/100km from new to 75,000 km. My iPhone says this is 32.67 mpg (US) and 39.23 mpg (UK) as an average of 46,203 miles (regardless of right or left traffic 
). I would guess this would be about half highway half commute, including cold starts and stationary consumption at service / repair centers. So; this must be a bit better on highway, a bit worse in city. I can see about 6+ l/100 km (39+ mpg US, 47+ mpg UK) temporarily, at favorable highway conditions.
My wife’s EU spec 2023 KIA X-Ceed manages about 1 l/100 km better so that would be roughly 38 US and 45.5 UK mpg. According to Mercedes, my car would consume 1l/100 km less without 4 Matic. If this is correct, RWD versions should be on par with the FWD KIA.
My 2015 Harley Davidson Road King was averaging 5.6 l/100 km (42 mpg US, 50.4 mpg UK) solo, loaded, touring.

Interesting post Bucur and the time doing the conversions.
Harley-Davidson was founded just down the road from me 123 years ago.
Without the conversions, my post wouldn’t make sense for a lot of members. We are living in a World where liquid volume units are more assorted than distance units and singularity cannot be achieved. Nevertheless, my iPhone made the conversions. I simply wrote them.
Harley Davidson’s story is very deep, turbulent and influential. I had one at the age of 60 and sold it at 70 but my purchase was “decided” when I was a kid. Milwaukee is virtually down the road for any internal combustion enthusiast and you are privileged.

@SkyLumen54 I hope that isn't your daily driver with today's gas prices.

A long time ago I had an old Dodge Charger with dual barrel carb and 400+ cc engine. That car got about 7 to 9 mpg.
These days my small SUV gets around 26-29mpg.

I only drive small, manual transmission compacts.
I just broke $30 for a tank of gas for the first time ever in my current car, at just about $4.50/gallon. I went just shy of 300 miles, so pushing 45mpg.
Back in the day, I had a Honda CR-X HF. On the highway, going 55mph behind a semi, I could get over 75mpg, haha. I drove across the country for under $200 back about 15 years ago with that car.
God, I miss that. Absolute death trap, but the gas mileage and handling was amazing.
I honestly don't know how people live with terrible gas mileage. I'm really frugal.
When I filled up yesterday, the guy across me had some kind of big pickup, and it was $117 and change...
I drive a lot for work (about 1,000 miles/month), and I can't imagine spending $100+ on a tank of gas each week. Heck, before all this, I wasn't even spending $100/month.
I'm practically getting paid to buy flashlights at this point, hahahah.
A lot of the people at work have been talking about how they're having to tighten their belt due to gas. I just keep to myself, and hide my phone that I'm browsing Hank's site for a new light on, haha. I just nod and go, "Oh, yeah! Those gas prices! Just brutal!"
The real fun is that most people I know pay for for a single tire than I paid to get 4 tires mounted and balanced, including tax and disposal fees...I buy those 5 quart jugs of that extended synthetic oil for my annual change, and like every 4 changes the oil is free (I just buy a filter), because I have a quart left over every time, haha.
Maybe it's just because I'm tall, but I never built my identity around what car I drive, so I just drive what's cheap, hahaha. If I need to haul things, I just rent the giant flatbed commercial truck at Menards for the $20 or whatever it is, haha.

I feel you. My commute is ~175 miles a day. That includes getting my high schooler to class, though.

Ouch. Last time gas hit about $5/gallon, I was doing about 100 miles per day.
Meanwhile, when it's $2, that's when I had the jobs I was walking and bicycling to work, hahaha.
That sounds brutal.
Another advantage of being retired is the ability to drive only as much as necessary.
you get used to it after a few years. It's mostly interstate, which helps.That sounds brutal.
Lots of podcasts also help.
Only cuz it's now too expensive. Expect that bad behavior to resume as soon as diesel prices fall.
