1. hey mate stop it the world must change with cleaner energies time to change to ELECTRIC ITS GOOD FOR ENVIRONMENT CLEANER AIR HEALTHY FOR PEOPLE OK STOP THE NONSENSE. OK

2. Tire pressure light is on,,,, there's your problem!

3. i was there worked that hurricane

4. 2 years ago. " I still want one" I still want one today.

5. I just have to say:
   Those on-board fuel consumption are always a little off.

   The only way to measure your consumption in a good way is at the gas station, with the tyre profile that the OEM recommends.
   You have to fill up your gas tank until the pistol stops filling.
   Make your journey.
   Return to the gas station, and fill your gas tank again to the fullest, until the pistol stops pumping.
   Now, see how many gallons you have pumped, and see how many miles you have made on your car.
   Then, make your calculations.

6. Don't let anyone see this , they'll arrest you !!!

7. GET OVER WITH COBUSTION ENGINES! GO ELECTRIC!!

8. @samcrac I wish you were my dad.

9. Power Stroke for shore. Had few new S class , never again!!!

10. That flag isn't controversial at all when your a real man!!! Great video, love Nazi sleds….

11. 12.5л/100км. Немного для такого огромного чемодана 🙂

12. They didn't get rid of the ABC suspension. It's just called "Magic Body Control", and it's pretty magical

13. well a bmw 550i averages 19-21 mpg too

14. My 3.7L Jeep Grand Cherokee gets about 14MPG. My 7.7L Cutlass gets about 10PMG

15. You just got the same gas mileage i get in my 1.4 turbo

    But in a twin turbo V12…..

16. I have a 2003 CL600 TT. I have the Pressertech stage II up grage. I get 21-23 mpg on highway

17. It's impressive how some V12's can use not much more fuel than a 4 pot 1/3 their size. Many people with an XJS V12 which was either 5.3 or 6.0 liters can get well over 20mpg at full cruising speeds.

18. Hi Sam, you should use a phone holder while driving and filming.

19. Okay, let's look at a 2015 S class. 60000.00 and 900-1100 a month plus insurance and gas. Now a 2007-07 S600 at 25000.00 and a payment of 470.00 plus insurance and gas. A newer 2015 with half the amenities where the S600 has everything. Look at the maintenance on both you will come to the same conclusion I did. It's better to have the 2007 S 600. Cost 145000.00 over the 2015 cost 96000.00 car. Oh and buying used most 2015 have 45-60 K miles while 2007 are about 45-50 miles. I'd rather have the old school with night view and not look like everybody else. I didn't grow up with a silver spoon, But in my lifetime wouldn't mind having the 2007-08 loaded at 60 years old than a Honda. 11/28/18 What a road car plus your passengers can kick in gas money. Lol

20. 4:58 of course there's a stupid prius in the left lane

21. Low tyre pressure hey guys let’s do a MPG check 😂😂😂

22. Hey Sam, who said you're selling that car?

23. sam ass crac

24. My 2003 S430 averages 23MPG and who knows if the spark plugs have ever been done. The plugs are on hold since the car was wrecked.

25. isnt there a cylinder deactivation mode?

26. My Mk2 RS is doing well if it gets 24mpg…but it’s a 2nd car running just over 400bhp, so fuel mileage isn’t important. Had numerous TVRs (British sports cars..Google if you don’t know them), and some of those averaged single figures 🙂

27. Drop those rear seat head rests. Switch is on the dash.

28. My old heavy v8 truck gets 14mpg

29. I got a c220 w204 30mpg mpg💔

30. That's a lot of road noise for a car priced like that.

31. 1981 v12 xjs-he does 22mpg at 75mph

32. dude no buddy buys a v12 for mpg lol

33. why did you have to point out the KKK Flag ???

34. i still want one.

35. Mercedes w140 and Maybach it's the same schyt in different package

36. What kind of crappy tires you have on this car so noisy

37. What a beautiful car, I see very few of these V12 Mercs about in the UK as the petrol is the equivalent of $7.90 for a UK gallon they're hard on the wallet.

38. Tire pressure light

39. Wow, this car actually gets better gas mileage than my dad's CLS63 AMG with its 6.2L engine (12 city, 18 highway for that car).
    (Also, my 205hp V6 SUV gets 17mpg highway)

40. That sounds about right. I got 21mpg on the highway with mine. Totally right about the maintenance too. My experience after driving 23,000 miles (46,000 total on the car), has been that I never drive further than about a 50 mile radius from my dealership. So not much fun really. From one owner to another, be ready for the coolant o-rings at the turbos to start leaking (44,000 miles). That job isn't really a DIY since the whole drivetrain needs to come out of the car. My indie charged $3800 which was a great price since the dealer price was $12k-$15k. While he was in there, we changed the motor mounts too. One was compressed, so it was a good idea to change them both. The ABC system threw a pulsation damper at 36,000 miles and just blew the replacement at 46,000 miles which is what is expected with the pulsation dampers by what the dealer tells me. The power steering hose blew at 45,900 miles which was way overdo based on what the dealer said. Now, the transmission goes into limp in mode after driving on the highway. I'm told that is the transmission conductor plate – also told by the dealer that these go out all the time and I was lucky to still have the original. Basically, this has the reliability of a very high-strung supercar (or maybe a little worse 🙂 )

41. I thought my focus ST170 did bad MPG. It does 15mpg around town, 25mpg if I'm on a long cruise and drive very carefully. Our petrol here in the UK costs £1.20 per ltr, and because my car only takes 97ron petrol, its even more at upto £1.30 per ltr. Be thankful your petrol is so dam cheap…
