we typically see ~20MPG in mixed tanks of
'round-town and hwy flying while on B99 BioD.
just got back from another thousand-mile
weekend, turning 80+ MPH for hours on I5 with
the AC on in temps over 90*F in the Central
Valley mixed with some stop&slow one way through
Los(t) Angeles. filling up with #2 at a couple
of truck stops, it looks like we were seeing
something in the range of 23MPG.
saw indicated coolant temps briefly creep to
~110C while climbing the Grapevine both ways
while still floating past much of the traffic,
but otherwise saw ~90-95*C most of the time.
still feels pretty good for and old car that
looks and cruises as nicely as it does.
cheers!

'85 300D (Calif car)
Nice report! A great car doing what it was meant
to do, even if it is 20-30ยบ warmer in CA than in
the Black Forest.
