Re: [MBZ] elderly diesels

I can never get any better than 22 mpg in my '77 300Dever. Air on (when it used to work), air off...loaded, empty...uphill, downhill...80 mph ave or 60 mph ave. You all are, as Napoleon Dynamite would say, lucky... Luck does not come into it. Your 32 year old car needs something.

Re: [MBZ] 300D mileage

...I've? also driven a perfectly running 1977 300D automatic across the? country, and got ~25mpg When my '78 300D had about 40K miles on it, I drove it one summer day from San Mateo CA to Redding CA in about four hours at a steady 65-70 mph. All Interstate and close to sea level. Fuel
