Re: [MBZ] Your mileage may vary etc
That is reasonably consistent with what I am getting. I am doing about 24 around town and 28 on the highway. I thought it might do better than that but even that is not too shabby for a 30 year old car. Thanks for your input.

If you are talking US gallons, then I am a bit on the low side. I am managing 21 around town and only about 23 on the highway in US gallons. In Imperial gallons, it is about 24 around town and 28 on the highway.

Our 1983 300TD with 276 K miles is down to about 20 mpg in mixed driving. No serious fuel leaks so I guess it's the aging process...
