I toyed with running the S210 (98 E320) wagon at 55 versus 65 on my short commute to see if it had any noticeable effects. It’s only 20 miles of the 38 or so daily when I was doing it, but I figured it might make a difference. And the difference driving 55 mph for 20 miles versus 65 mph can’t

It's keeping the speed down that does it, if I let it get over 70mph it'll barely make 50mpg on the way to work which loses 600' of elevation. Curt Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Sun, Apr 26, 2020 at 12:26 AM, Bob Rentfro via Mercedes wrote: Jeez, Curt. That is really good. The best

Best I've ever done in the Golf is 47.5, but then I have to stop 15 times on the way to work, 17 if I hit the lights wrong on the "short" route. Rear brakes drag, in the process of changing the rear rotors (as soon as it quits raining!) so that should go up a little. My brother routinely got

Jeez, Curt. That is really good. The best I ever managed in any of TDI Jetta’s was 50.4. And that was an automatic. My 2014 Passat did 45mpg @ 75mph coming back from San Diego in October. Bob R Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 25, 2020, at 9:15 PM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes > wrote: > >

I am reminded that yesterday I had to go into the office. I took it slow to see what my 2015 Jetta TDI is capable of. The 60 miles in returned just over 58mpg, the return got just over 55. I kept the speed to no more than 65 mph and mostly 60. In fact I didn't think to try for a high mileage

I had the hood up on the Sprinter today. It also has plastic covers of various sizes and shapes, under which I’m sure lies a 3.0l V6 Diesel engine. Everyone who has driven her says that she is very easy to drive and does very well on the road. My niece said that the cabin is designed much more

Doubtful they'll last that long. Too much plastic, too much is unrepairable, or cost of repairs quickly exceeds value of vehicle. Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes writes: > Sent from my iPhone > ___ > http://www.okiebenz.com > > To search list archives
