I'm a little disappointed in what I hearing about mileage.  The vacum and
other issues aren't really any different then what I have delt with in my
gasser but I was hoping to get in the nieghborhood of 28 - 30 MPG.  I have a
90 mile round trip communte with some rolling hills but all at 55 or a
little more MPH.

If I drive my W116 600 miles at 65-80mph, I get 28mpg. That includes crossing every mountain between Georgia and Michigan. 1983 300D has a smaller chassis and the same gearing, along with a different camshaft. 30mpg might be possible at 55 with careful driving, few stops, and perfect tuning. OTOH, if you get a dog, 25mpg is possible too.
