I think that really shorts the TDI too, the 2012 is rated for 42 highway which is most of what I drive.
The new EPA estimates are crazy low, my '84 190D 2.2l auto is EPA rated 27/31, I average about 38 with runs up to 40. The '98 TDI was rated 33/44. '98 E300 is 23/31, we'll give it the benefit of the doubt that 35 is quite possible, still pretty low when you drive 112 miles a day. -Curt Date: Sun, 23 Jun 2013 17:36:35 -0600 From: Craig <diese...@pisquared.net> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Subject: Re: Any TDI folks here?
