Does anyone know how many more miles per gallon the 250 does compared to the 45 AMG?

No info on that yet.

 

[AMGRD]

According to the AMG CLA45's mini site Fuel consumption NEDC combined 6.9 – 7.1 l/100 km

Which is around 33.6 MPG (US)

CLA 45 AMG

yeh but thats euro MPGs which are calculated differently than north american MPGs and are often higher.

anyway, i'd love it if the CLA45 gets around 23 to 26 city mpg. I average 24 city now in a much weaker car, and dont want to go much further down regardless of the power of the new car.

So what is the estimated European fuel consumption for the 250 so we can compare them?

EPA says 2009 C350 should get 25 hwy. I get up to 32mpg going 75mph. I'm willing to bet that the CLA is lighter, more aerodynamic and more efficient- at least 35 hwy.

I found this on links on this forum.

The AMG video claims 6.9 l/100 km highway
The CLA250 data below claims 4.9litre/100 km highway (48MPG)

Obviously these are not the numbers that would be published in the US Fuel Efficiency guide, but perhaps thy show that the CLA250 would get 40% better highway mileage than the CLA45
