Fewer power drain things attached to the engine. Nothing other than
the alternator and water pump going on Gump. The 616 cars probably had
automatics, which rob some power, power steering and AC suck more.
Maybe the location of the oil filter and having the oil bath air filter
increases mileage?

So, why are the 115 220Ds getting 6 to 10 more mpg than a 123 240D?
The 240D isn't THAT much larger an engine, and the 123 might be a tad
lighter than a 115?
My first MB was a '70 220D, and I got almost exactly the same mileage
that Clay is getting.
