2017 Mercedes-Benz G-Class Fuel Economy
EPA rates the 2017 Mercedes-Benz G-Class's 4 trims from 11 to 13 MPG combined, G550 4x4 (Special Off-Road Model) to AMG G63. The table below prices every trim per mile at a fuel price and mileage you can change.
EPA ratings by trim
| Trim | Engine | Transmission | Drive | City | Hwy | Combined |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AMG G63 · Premium | 5.5 L, 8 cyl | Automatic 7-spd | 4-Wheel Drive | 12 | 14 | 13 MPG |
| AMG G65 · Premium | 6 L, 12 cyl | Automatic 7-spd | 4-Wheel Drive | 11 | 13 | 12 MPG |
| G550 · Premium | 4 L, 8 cyl | Automatic 7-spd | 4-Wheel Drive | 13 | 14 | 13 MPG |
| G550 4x4 (Special Off-Road Model) · Premium | 4 L, 8 cyl | Automatic 7-spd | 4-Wheel Drive | 11 | 11 | 11 MPG |
City and highway are EPA's adjusted label figures; combined is the 55/45 blend printed on the window sticker. For electric and plug-in trims the MPG columns are MPGe, and the kWh per 100 miles is the figure a charging cost actually turns on; EPA measures it at the wall, so charging losses are already in it. Unrounded combined figures, where EPA publishes them: AMG G63 12.772; AMG G65 11.5821; G550 13.4699; G550 4x4 (Special Off-Road Model) 10.7633.
What the rating costs per mile
The rating divided by a price, times your miles. It starts at EIA's current U.S. averages and EPA's 15,000 miles so the right-hand column is comparable; type your own pump price, home rate and mileage over them.
| Trim | Runs on | Rated | Per mile | Per year | EPA's figure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AMG G63 | Premium Gasoline | 13 MPG | 33.0¢ | $4,943 | $6,300 |
| AMG G65 | Premium Gasoline | 12 MPG | 35.7¢ | $5,355 | $6,850 |
| G550 | Premium Gasoline | 13 MPG | 33.0¢ | $4,943 | $6,300 |
| G550 4x4 (Special Off-Road Model) | Premium Gasoline | 11 MPG | 38.9¢ | $5,842 | $7,450 |
Per mile = price ÷ rated MPG (gasoline) or price per kWh × kWh per 100 miles ÷ 100 (electricity). Per year = per mile × miles. EPA's figure is its own annual fuel cost at 15,000 miles, 55% city, and the national price in force when the file was built; it will differ from the middle columns whenever the price here differs. A plug-in hybrid is shown once on each fuel; its real cost sits between them, by how much of its driving is on the battery.
Fuel only — before depreciation, insurance, maintenance or tires, which the True Cost per Mile Calculator adds. Most drivers land below the rating; the True MPG Calculator measures your own from two fill-ups.
EPA's own figures, and why they differ
The “EPA's figure” column is EPA's annual fuel cost from the same file: 15,000 miles, 55% city, and the national fuel price fueleconomy.gov was using on the day the file was built (2026-09-29). fueleconomy.gov recomputes its page every week at the current price, so its number and the file's drift apart between file dates; the middle columns here use a price you can see and change, which is the only honest way to compare two cars. EPA also prints a five-year “you save/spend” against the average new vehicle (spends $19,500 for the AMG G63); it rests on the same assumptions and is not repeated here as a result.
Every figure on this page is a rating, not a measurement of any particular car. The site never calls a rating wrong; it shows what your own price and miles do to it. See the model on fueleconomy.gov.
