"Marshall always said that 30 mpg was at the high end of what you could get with a 603 car, and required steady 60-mph highway driving. Peter's the only person I have ever heard report getting over 30 mpg consistently." I concur. I had three different 123 300D's. I usually got 22-26 mpg. My in town was worse. I remember getting 16-17 mpg in town on my last. But, that car had over 400,000 miles on it, I am sure it needed top end work and I drove it hard ALL of the time. I had to. It was a dog. I think it was worn out. It had over 475,000 miles when I sold it. The timing chain was replaced before I got it with slightly more than 200,000 miles on it. Who knows how much chin stretch their was. I would guess that would effect mileage negatively. The best fuel miser of all of my MB's was the 1990 2.5. That was/is a great car. I also got over 40 mpg in my old Honda Civic hatchback 5 speed. My old 1990 Oldsmobile 88 would also get 34 mpg on the highway if it was ALL highway and I didn't drive 75 0r 80. Donald H.
