With all due respect, it's hard to take you seriously when you make up bizarre statements about mileage and CO2 etc on an unreleased engine.

But to answer your question, considering Mercedes are getting Euro 33.6mpg combined out of a 5.5, it's pretty obvious that the mpg and emissions will be significantly better on this new engine than on the 6 year old S65.

I mean BMWs 535d used to offer 35mpg combined upon it's 2006 release, well for 2012 the engine offers more power and 51mpg combined. Technology moves far faster than you realize.
