Re: [MBZ] 84 126 diesel mileage - NOW 376 mpg 1973 Guinness record-setter
This is amazing! In 1973, Royal Dutch Shell sponsored a contest to see who could design the most fuel efficient vehicle. The winner, which looks surprisingly like a normal, 1950s car, holds an efficiency record that still stands today. A chop-top, steel frame 1959 Opel T-1 was equipped with devices that heat and insulate the fuel line so the gasoline entered the engine as a lean vapor with astonishing results: 376.59 miles per gallon. The car was purchased by the owners of NASCAR and gifted to a museum in Talladega, Ala., where it was largely relegated to anonymity. But Evan McMullen, owner of Seattle-based Cosmopolitan Motors, rediscovered the Guinness world-record-setting car and wants to see what it can do in today's automotive market. Not all of the car's features would work for mass-production. The car is very narrow, uses super-hard low-friction tires, neither of which make the vehicle particularly drivable. The interior is stripped of everything but a seat and lacks a top. McMullen concedes that a lot of this would be changed, but he notes that even if the car were made more suitable for mass-consumption and lost 200 mpg, it would still get 176 mpg and outperform everything else on the road today. McMullen is shopping the car to see if any larger companies are interested in a vehicle that could make a major contribution to reducing carbon emissions. Here's a car that was 20 years old at the time of the contest that was the project of a couple of guys in an garage, he said. You can't tell me we can't do better than this with cars today. They tell us hybrids are the answer, McMullen added.

Re: [MBZ] 84 126 diesel mileage
My '83 300SD will get near 30MPG on the highway at 55-60MPH and around 27MPG at near 70MPH. Any faster than that and it starts costing a lot more money (when you get caught, that is). I would guess that mine would get MPG somewhere in the mid 20's around 80MPH. My AC compressor is dead (has been since I've owned it) and has no belt, so factor that in.
