My 300SD got 26-27 regularly. I found the secret to good mileage on that one seemed to be go faster on the highway. Sadly this does not seem to be the case with the newer E300Dt's :( :( I know it isn't much of an issue to turn 27 with the 300D, and on the atlanta->baltimore run I think it turned between 28 and 29. -j. -- 1985 300D 223k "Gerta" 1991 Jeep Cherokee 149k "the fishbowl" 1999 E300Dt 106k (the creaky one) 1999 E300Dt 140k (the leaky one)
