30 is easy on the highway. For long extended periods of driving, we get close to 40.

But the fuel mileage is only part of it. The torque is amazing. It has 400 pounds of it, so when the ML320 gets going, it really flies. The only engine available in the M-series with more torque is their AMG V8. The ML320 is a 3.0 V6 turbo.

Regardless, I have no doubt the ML could give my 911 a run for its money up to 60mph.

You're going to love the ML320.
