While driving home (the only long trip I ever took in the car), I didn't realize the speedo was out of whack, I was lucky to not get a ticket. The odo was dead, so I just topped off the tank every 300 miles when the Corolla ran dry and calculated my mileage off the odo in the Corolla. MPG on an overtired tired W116 300SD was within 10% of a 1993 Corolla wagon at those speeds. Locally, I typically drive slow enough that the speedo doesn't matter. Now that I've got the odo fixed, I should take it out on the freeway long enough to get a good idea how far off the gauges are from the mile markers. First step would be replacing the interior after a racoon ate the leather seats. It's been over a year now, and I can look at the car thinking "ok, how do I fix this?" instead of just turning away in disgust. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
