FC E90 lci 320i vs Mercedes c200 W204

[axel]

Greetings, my dad has been asking me this for almost few months...which car serves the better fuel consumption?E90 lci 320i (6 speeds) and Mercedes c200 w204 (7 speeds)anyone has tried on this statement?i am qquite confused...:stupid::stupid:

axel,

Why and what are you confused over your dad's statement? Fuel consumption is a very subjective matter. All depends how heavy is your right foot on the gas pedal. I would have thought your dad should be asking about the comparision of performance instead of fuel consumption.

The answer can be easily obtained from Google.. unless it's a trick question, please enlighten us which part is confusing? :stupid::stupid:

Urban (l/100 km): 10.9
Extra-urban (l/100 km): 6.0
Composite (l/100 km): 7.8

AB,

I hope you are not confused too..

 

[axel]

okay, i'm quite confused with my dad's statement...
maybe it should be in this way "the comparison of fuel efficency between e90 320d and merc c200"
i m quite agree with Herbert sifu too, the key of this topic is depends on how you tekan your gas pedal.
I am confused because c200 (7 speeds) is using petrol and 320d (6 speeds) is using diesel which different price (petrol & diesel).
This statement is indeedly interesting, maybe we should come out with something? like both cars cruising at 120km/h from KL to Ipoh and that will definitely giving us the answer =)
Astroboy, dont forgeting the pricing

 

[axel]

sorry for my title... it should be 320d instead of 320i

ayo, diesel vs petrol on fuel consumption ka?? not a fair fight :4:
the oil burner can go 850kms on a full tank with city start stop driving. can the merc even touch 600 with highway cruising?

 

[_M_]

Yeah, its a no brainer.. whats the confusion?

 

[gendong]

why is your dad asking such questions?

 

[axel]

Maniac, i think is possible with c200 blue efficiency system and 7 speeds transmission
gendong, i have no idea why he ask me such question, maybe he want to sell off his old junk and get a c200 (recon unit about 150k)?

btw, my cousin is owning c200 and i am going to ask him to test this statement out =)

There's no way the BlueEfficient can be more fuel efficient than a diesel in terms of l/100km, not to even take into consideration that 10 sen cheaper per litre of diesel.

On the highway, the 320d can achieve 1,000km per tank.. U think a petrol engine can beat that? Even my 1.3L Avanza also can beat that.. not even with 2nd tanks of petrol despite the smaller 45L tank. Those are near hybrid figures..

The following is registered in a CT200h on PLUS highway KL~Ipoh.. 20km/L = 5L/100km, worst than the 320d on-paper figure..

 

[axel]

Astroboy, u are right. I have no idea why my old man keep on saying merc is better than bimmer... fc, performance and even driving pleasure are better than a mercedes...
maybe they like the logo?

 

[astroboy]

.. peer pressure..

This is an interesting question. I've run normal and forced induction cars before, and the published figures never are accurate, especially for turbo cars in urban driving. They usually are quite bad as the spooling takes energy. I believe the merc is supercharged, so my guess is it would be much worse in real driving conditions around town?

320i vs c200

Its depend on ur position.if u are passanger better get benz but if
U are the captain the choice is bimmer.u can taste the true drive

The question is FC related, not comfort or other performances, better not make all more confused.. :4:

Good point.. i had a W204 C200K for a couple of years.. took highways most of the time but stil only achieved FC of 10.3L/100km. My neighbour has the C200 CGI which is more efficient.. but only marginally at 9.9L/100km.

So no where near the claimed FC.

I guess the 'BlueEfficiency' thingy is quite a good marketing ploy.. which means it can confuse people.. :burnout:

Depending on which model, the W204 has supercharger (Kompressor models) and turbo (CGI models).
