So wierd...
I noticed on the way to work today that diesel had again DROPPED this time
$0.06 to $2.79.
Gas is $2.55 so I'm not doing the happy dance but its still much cheaper for me
to drive Hammie than my pickup truck.
I drove all the way to work today without exceeding 70mph (I got up early and
had the time) most of the way I cruised at 60mph which incidentally is where
Hammie sounds the happiest. I'm going to make an effort to go slow on the way
home too, I'm curious if I can get my best mileage ever number above 32mpg.

I filled up my wife's gas guzzling Ford Explorer 4X4 yesterday. Gas was
$2.13. I also filled up my MB diesel and it was $3.35. If I took both
of these on the highway and used 20 gallons. I could travel 400 miles
in
the Explorer and 680 miles in my benz. At the cost of fuel, it would
cost me less per mile to drive the gaz guzzling SUV. The cost per mile
is 9.39 cents per mile (fuel only) and 10.15 cents per mile to drive
the
benz. I understand that the SUV is going to get much worse mileage in
the city and then the benz is going to be far cheaper. I also
understand
that a mix of the two, the benz might still be slightly cheaper, but
come on, if I want to take a long trip, it does not make sense to drive
the SUV. Who knew that getting 34-35 mpg wouldn't be enough?

I'm wondering what happened that caused the 96-99 bodies to rust - here in
the North East, I see loads of '87 - '95 124's with perfect paint and
bodies- even with the horrible salt we get. But I see many of the newer
style with rust, especially on the rear trunk and front fenders. Did MB
change their metal, thickness or coatings? Why would they do that- they
sure got things right on the 124's.
