606NA gets better mileage than the turbo. EPA figures are not pessimistic for
the w210. I do not know what they did to mess it up, but the W124 OM606 has
power and poise, as well as economy. The 606 in the w210s I looked at were
anemic and the cars sloppy. Is that build issues or age?

I was able to cruise at 85mph and get 36mpg doing all day trips a few summers
ago. All highway. I was able to fill the tank and go at least 660 miles
before the needle fell to E. Only once did I hit the reserve light and that
was a 690 mile day. 95 E300
w210 has the same size tank, but
What are you going to do with your e300? I might want to buy it.

189 on the clock. Driver side front fender took the hit at the wheel. Sheet
metal is toast, crinkle in the underlying metal that can be coaxed out

Oooh, Aspen Green over Saddle leather, my favorite!
I bet clay would be all over this one if it were in Seattle.

EPA says 23/31. In a Jetta that'd be a 2002/2003 and EPA 35/44 and I could get
a manual transmission which I prefer on principle.
Anybody with turbo 606 experience want to comment?
I was under the impression that it could at least equal a W124 2.5 turbo on the
freeway.

Will a W210 do 30 MPG?
I'd be surprised if the turbo OM606 didn't. The '95 diesel W124 with the
NA 606 easily gets 30 mpg, and the 210 chassis has a significantly better
Cd than the 124 (which was no slouch in its day).

Yep.
Can't believe I did that.
If Curt really cares about fuel cost, he could always get a first generation
Insight with stick shift. 65-70mpg on 87 octane gasahol.

it the benefit of the doubt that 35 is quite
possible, still pretty low when you drive 112 miles a day.
