Is your 190D an automatic? 32 is really quite poor unless it all city

the floor!! That make remarkably little difference. Highway speeds
much
above 60 will lower mileage, but on the highway my auto always did
better than 35 and the 5 spds better than 38.. It took a year or more
(20+kmi) after I switched to synthetic oil before they got there
though!
Had to blow out all the crud that was left from the previous owners
I guess.

Our 190D Euro 2.5 na, auto gets 36ish no matter what, our 190D 2.2
5spd hung between 37.7 mixed and 41.2 hwy. Neither was babied. The
Euro 2.5 improved from low 34s since we've had it. It's very hilly
