Re: [MBZ] 190D 2.2 5 speed mileage
When I’m talking about this 190d I’m referring to using it more for local trips to town or what not.

Re: [MBZ] 190D 2.2 5 speed mileage
I had an '85 190D 2.2l 5spd I drove just over 100,000 miles. Best I ever got was 43mpg, IIRC I had to keep it to 60mph for that. Average was more like 38mpg. I also had an '84 190D 2.2l auto, the best I ever got in that was 38mpg, average was more like 32. We went to NH last weekend for Angie's birthday, the '15 Jetta TDI did 56mpg round trip... -Curt On Monday, June 20, 2022 at 11:05:50 AM EDT, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes wrote: With the fuel prices the way they are, I am actually getting ready to bring my 85 190D 5 speed out of hibernation.

Re: [MBZ] 190D 2.2 5 speed mileage
I think my son got 45 or more on the highway in MI where the limit was around 60. Typical was around 40 with his 190D 2.2 munaul.

Re: [MBZ] 190D 2.2 5 speed mileage
I would think the 2007 CDI Bluetec would get close to or over 40 MPG, IF it had the DPF removed and was tuned for OFF ROAD USE ONLY. I would guess those Regen cycles kill mileage.

Re: [MBZ] 190D 2.2 5 speed mileage
IIRC, a 2.2 5-speed manual in tip-top condition should turn in around 42MPG, best-case conditions. Our 2.5 does considerably worse. There are some fuel leaks, and I believe the timing is not optimal. It's also got the wrong rear end ratio. I think we've been getting something like 35MPG, best-case. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
