Sounds like a bit of a newer car but good mileage. I forgot to
mention that I have a 83 300D. Doesn't look to good but runs OK.

I've had to make two trips per week (30 mile RT) from N. Seattle down to
Federal Way WA (no kidding, that's what it's called.) Thursday's
average in
moderate 70mph traffic and 7-8 miles of surface streets, 25.1 mpg, not
Imperial but premium. 3 liter V-6, 7-speed trans, 228hp, 3550 lbs,
drag number
0.25.
No trailer, though.
