This was in MB literature somewhere, referencing 75mph. I was being a
bit more precise (anal? facetious? trolling?) as it would make sense
that the car would be setup for 120kph. This would be with stock tires
of course.

I don't like the long-legged gearing on my 85. The engine is

The tach is still dead....) The turbo isn't really working

Thats because the optimal cruising speed for a 85 300d with

What size tire?
And I'm mighty curious how you arrived at that particular speed

But kinda my point. And Mike was contemplating putting the tall
gears in to improve fuel efficiency. And I was warning that it
might not really help.
