I feel that unless one lives in an area where they are likely to be shot or otherwise attacked, then the hard-charging drivers who tailgate can drive off into oblivion and die, wasting fuel all the way.
The 240D has all the power to accelerate that is needed, except for up steep hills with a lot of cargo. I like that it's being acknowledged more in the media these days that hard acceleration wastes fuel. Of course, this is not so much the case with diesels - I mean accelerating faster taking more fuel? Brian Steve echoed: But I echo the note about freeways. Not only merging, but even keeping up with urban freeway traffic patterns isn't a fun proposition. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
