work. One route is 4 miles shorter but you have to stop about once
every mile for stop signs, as its back country roads. The other route
is of course 4 miles longer than the first route, but is all highway
with no stops.
Which route uses more fuel -- stopping and having to overcome inertia, or
just cruising?
How much fuel do you burn in that extra 4 miles?

What's the total distance for the shorter route? If it's 6 miles, and
the longer route is 10 miles, the answer is different that if the
short route is 30 miles and the long one is 34 miles.

destination? What are the cruising
speeds? So, the shorter route has 4 additional stops, or how many?

Buy a 500 cc motorcycle. No, you can't haul mine back to Oklahoma.

The following
Which car? If an 85 190D, the www.fueleconomy.gov site says 26mpg
city and 35mpg highway.
Taking those as an example, the shorter route is more like city
driving, so 21 miles at 26mpg =
0.8 gal. The 25 mile route sounds like highway driving, so 25 miles
at 35mpg = 0.7 gal.
If the shorter route
Is it worth it to go the shorter route
There are also wear issues in the brakes and transmission.
If it's the same amount of time, I'd vote for the longer
but smoother route. Gotta be more pleasant, too.

Just figured the mileage on the rental Malibu from my trip last week ~29mpg, a
bit over actually. That surprises me, I surely wasn't working at getting good
mileage...
Car had 35,000 miles which is high for a rental. EPA estimates range around 30
for highway. I *think* it had a v6 but I'm not
I got same mpg on one in Branson, drove it 1500 miles in a week. Nice
car, plenty quick, lotsa room.

Still it drove pretty good but why are all steering wheels so small
now?
So you can still drive them while in handcuffs.
Never know when that'll come in handy, gangstas.

If anyone is interested 1979 240D, which I log in every tank full is
getting
around 27 to 28 mpg
Wonder what a 1972 220D, 115 chassis automatic gets?
A 1972 200D 115 manual gets 30-31 around town.

Figured I'd drop in on the mileage debate since I have absolutely no idea what
kind of mileage an SD should get. My 190D reliably gets in the high 30s. The
average over 20,000 miles is 35 point something but thats largely because of a
couple tanks with bad fuel leaks.
As I move into my second
Curt, is yours the 190D turbo or 2.2? What year? Miles on the odometer??
