My 1983 300TD with 276 K miles has suffered diminishing fuel economy over time (more accurately, I have been doing the suffering). Now, I get about 20 mpg in typical stop and go city driving, with the occasional 10 mile interstate cruise thrown in for good measure. 10 years ago it was more like 24 mpg although this probably involved somewhat more highway driving. The car operates flawlessly otherwise. Is there anything I can do to get back to 24 mpg?
