Mercedes Benz adds high-powered, gas guzzling C-Class sedan

The 2008 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG shows why shoppers can’t tell just by the size of a car whether it’s a high-mileage vehicle or a gas guzzler.
The C63 AMG is a five-passenger compact sedan, which puts it in the same size category as a Honda Civic.
But this small Mercedes is no fuel-thrifty Honda. Indeed, the C63 AMG has the third worst federal government fuel economy rating of all 2008 compact cars sold in the United States. Only a couple of Bentleys fare worse in fuel mileage in the compact car segment.
With city and highway mileage estimates of just 12 and 19 miles per gallon, respectively, from the federal government, the C63 AMG can guzzle more gasoline per mile than a Hummer.
The C63 AMG is pricey, too. Starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price, including destination charge and a $2,100 gas guzzler tax, is $56,725. This is some $24,000 more than a base C-Class sedan, the C300.
