Okay... So as long as we are musing miscellaneously, Fuel Mileage. I have a 1983 300D - This thing is nice good shape bought it right, and a friend really would like to buy it from me. I bought it to teach myself about the Mercedes diesel, and that has been a success. As I see fuel prices rise, I am thinking of selling it to him and buying a 240D. What can I expect for fuel mileage for a 240D of the same time. I know it will be super slow - but it would probably do well on my commute.
My commute is 45 miles each way - rolling country hills with only 2 complete stops. I drive about 60 MPH. In my 300D i tend to get right at about 28 or 29 MPG. I'm not worried about fun, just economy. I have a Miata to deliver some fun during the spring and fall when the weatherr is perfect. So - share your thoughts. The other thing that appeals to me is the manual climate control in the 240.
