Don't think it is tongue in cheek. My second MB was black because I
didn't care what color it was. I will never own another black car

cleaned.

Do the dealers still order 50% of their stock in black?
Or am I wrong and it's MBUSA that did that and the dealers didn't have a choice?

both of those, at least in my region.
I don't know if I've ever seen a black W115 or W123 in person,
and the number of black W108/W116
You go right ahead and get yourself an engine designed by Ruddy, the engine in
my car (and probably the one in yours) was designed and built to use #2 diesel.
So, does your state law allow you to drive on public roads without paying your
fare share of fuel tax?

Since Mercedes and Bosch didn't re-invent the diesel engine they only
optimized it to accept schedule 52 diesel as the common fuel there seems to
be an element of confusion.

I recently read the history of Diesel by Nitske and he doesn't seem to follow
the traditional wisdom that Diesel intended the diesel engine to run on
peanut oil and free the farmer.
In fact Nitske indicates that many fuels were attempted before settling on what
we now call diesel fuel...
I absolutely don't want a black interior.

In fact
Gel point is vastly different for #2 diesel and vegetable oil -- #2
has a pour point as low as -30F, and I doubt veggie oil, particularly
used veggie oil, will be fluid enough to pour at 10 F, let along
-30. Not all #2 has a pour point that low, but it can.
There are two larger problems,
Yes, coal dust was the first fuel attempted. However, none of his
engines produced significant power on coal dust, and he quickly
realized that handing powder for fuel wasn't going to work.
It's called diesel fuel for a reason -- it's what works best.

Going to be putting ANOTHER sway bar bracket on the 300D -- these
things are driving me nuts. Only put one set on the old car,
originals broke at 250,000 miles or so. Not a problem with the
replacements, but both of them, now used on other cars, have broken,
and I'm on the second NEW set
...However, for many of us, there is a limit to the number of vehicles that
we can have. My truck is overkill for my quick commute to work but is
needed for the trips to the lake to haul materials since we are trying
to renovate out there and to launch and retrieve boats. etc...
