Environmentally-friendly actions seem to be spotlighted by every major automobile company today, but can any of those other franchises claim what Mercedes-Benz can? The answer is no; Mercedes-Benz is the only automaker with more than a century of research in green technology. They built the world's first and constantly cleaner diesel engine. They had the first green luxury dealership in the world to be U.S. Green Building Council-certified... They launched the ML450 HYBRID, SUB S400 HYBRID Sedan, and a zero-emission fuel cell vehicle. And that's just the beginning of their work!

Preparing to launch their third-generation M-Class SUV in spring 2012, Mercedes-Benz is focusing heavily on improving fuel efficiency. In fact, compared to the second-generation, the forthcoming M-Class promises a 25-percent increase in fuel economy across the range.

What exactly does that mean for you, the driver? Well, if we look at the most economical SUV of the bunch, the ML250 Bluetec 4MATIC powered by a 4-cylinder diesel engine, we can see it gets a wicked?
