The thermostat makes a HUGE difference. When I first got my 240D it was running cool and bringing in around 24mpg the best tank ever at that point was 27mpg. With a good t-stat the average went up to about 28mpg with the best tank ever an outstanding (for a 240D anyway) 32.7mpg. I never understood why but I got consistantly worse mileage with snowtires on, I went from around 29mpg average to 28mpg average.

Curt, Wait until you take one out for a drive before loving it! The transmission has straight cut gears and they are VERY noisy! I mean you have to shout to be heard, noisy. The are also a short wheelbase and you feel every bump. Don't get me wrong, I used to drive a BJ70 and a BJ42 which are the diesel versions. In the BJ70 with the pnuematic driver's seat you were still going over bumps like you were on a teeter-totter. Tough as nails though! I used to berate customers that said they had a Toyota Jeep.

Re: [MBZ] OT Retro Land Cruiser?
The last diesel Toyotas in the US would be the 84 Camry TD, and possibly as far up as the 87 LN51 pickup with the 2.4TD. Not sure when they stopped the diesel Corollamaybe 84. In Canada we had the diesel Landcruiser in the wagin version until 87 and in the two door until 89 (?) The US NEVER had a diesel Landcruiser; and cruiser in the US with an original diesel engine came from Canada or elsewhere. Jeff Zedic Toronto 87 300TD 83 300D

Are the later ones straight gears too? I thought that went out with the 3spd. I have driven them. I very nearly bought a beautiful '82 years ago.
