[MBZ] 81 240D, Stick

2009-04-24 Thread Tom Harruff
I just visited my Indie mechanic in Bonita Springs, FL to check out the 83 
300SD that I am considering purchasing.  Checked out fine!  Actually better 
that that.  One of the cleanest he had seen at 128k miles.

Interesting. My brother's 78 300D that I've been driving for about a week
now (needs a couple of things, and I seem to fix what I'm driving) turned in
351.6 miles on 13.8 gallons (roughly 25.5 mpg). I usually cruise it at 75. And
no, it's not in great running shape either - it goes through a quart 
every 1500ish. 


Sadly enough, that's roughly what the 87 300TD usually gives me.
