Yup. I saw 37 mpg at the first fuel stop, and figured I hadn't filled
the tank, but it kept it the whole trip.

got 39mpg on an extended trip at 75-80. I read things on the net like
this that give me the

How about trading for a very nice 1997 Ford Explorer 4X4? It's like a

The '90 300D 2.5 got 37.4 mpg ... I have
never heard of a 602 getting that high, that is great.
The 602 in my 190D has gotten 42. :-)

Guy at work has a 116 300SD and claims it'll do 30mpg.
However I know the odo doesn't work in it.
My W116 got 26-28mpg driving home from Florida when I bought it, according
to the odo on my friend's Toyota. (my odo had slipping gear syndrome)
We filled up at the same time,
Driving hundreds of miles without a cold start sure helps the mileage.
That's how my '78 300cd was able to get 28MPG on the highway coming back to
Oregon from Southern Kalifornia. It never got mileage that good ever again.
That was before I learned how to adjust valves, and I didn't own it
I know it won't... When he brings it back from Mexico I'll challenge him to
prove it using my GPS...

OK - it's hard for me to beleive as well. Here's what I did -- new
Kuhmo tires - the right size, aired up to 2Lb. over spec., drove the
speed limit (shocking - but I did it this time), and used the GPS for
an odometer, since the one in the car doesn't work. Maybe the GPS
isn't right? Streets and

I will be watching it in the future, and will report what ever
happens. Still seems too good to be true, we'll see if it can be
repeated. And I echo Dwight's sentiments about the car ---

What fuel mileage does the '95 300D with the 606 get? THere's a nice
looking one on eBay right now - in Philly that isn't going for all
that much - yet.

Depends on fuel and how you drive. I was getting 33-36mpg depending
on how long I stayed on the highway. Did a cross country at 75-90mph
for those results. Around town it gets down to 25mpg on B20.

That's more what I would expect from a 2.5L in good shape!
I almost wish I'd bought one instead of another 3.0L.
