I drive a C320 05 and I can confidently say my C class fuel consumption is better than same year Corolla.

Well, to each according to his own. I drive a 2009 Corolla on most week days, I've never bothered to look at the fuel guage, As for My Mercedes, the fuel consumption is well documented on this thread

I have an assumption that C class has better fuel economy than eclass.

I bought 2k fuel on an empty tank at akowonjo. Drove to ikeja then gbagada, from gbagada to festac with the horrible traffic, came back to gbagada before heading home (igondo) the reserve light came on around Alausa ikeja.

You're enjoying, 2k on an empty tank for me will be in the reserve category. Car has a tank capacity slightly above 80 litres.

How heavy or light was your right leg, and also did you do all that trip with A/C on?
Also what time did you make that trip cos I know how the traffic situation looks like in those area.

My AC was on all tru as I operate an online taxi business with my car. My tank was as good as empty as the reserve light has been on a while before topping up 2k. C320 4matic 05 that's the vehicle I use

Interesting.
You're one of the few sensible ones that distinguish themselves in the ehailing business with your choice of car.

Condition pushed me to the streets, I love Benz from my teenage days. I learnt driving with Regular. Went out of paid employment over 8months applied to many companies no luck so I decided to hit the road since I love driving already.

Picture just before I top 2k fuel although the fuel meter was not will captured

Wait a minute, your car does not have an engine oil dipstick? What engine model is that?

I doubt that except the Corolla is in a very bad condition but under normal circumstances, the Corolla will definitely be more fuel economical than the w203 C320 2005 that you drive.

Many auto manufacturers adopted this new trend of "deleting the dipstick", look no further than Mercedes' absolutely mental evil sister, BMW

His claims got me confused.
His car has an all wheel drive format and definitely heavier than a Corolla of same year.
If he's comparing the fuel consumption with a v6 Camry, then that I'll understand.

Exactly. The C320 is a 3.2L 6cylinder engine plus it being a 4matic VS Corolla being a 1.8L 4cylinder engine. It's impossible for the C320 to be more fuel efficient than the Corolla.
