OK guys, it's time to start putting more fuel INTO Andrew's tank every
few nights!
HAHAHAHA, I don't care who you are, that right there is funny!

My 300TD has been getting progressively, steadily worsening fuel economy
over the last few years. It runs fine, there are no fuel leaks to speak of,
and I haven't changed my driving habits. I had been driving it in "2" at
Marshall's recommendation, but thought this might be causing the decline in
fuel economy so switched back to "D" around town.
Makes zero difference.
When I say the fuel economy s*cks, this means that whereas I used to drive
up to 380 miles before the reserve light came on, now it's exactly 100 miles
LOWER when I hit reserve (under 300 miles). This translates to 18 or 19 mpg.
I am beginning to feel ashamed that my DIESEL could fare so POORLY in fuel
consumption. Best I ever got was 27 on the highway but until a couple years
ago I faithfully averaged 22-24 during the non-winter seasons, mixed
driving.
I assume my problem is that the engine is running "rich". How would this be
addressed?
Thanks in advance,
1983 300 TD
267 K miles
