Its not the stupidest idea I've seen for sure but IIRC the cheap/fast tests right now are only like 80% accurate. I guess its better than nothing but not by a lot. Even if it were, say $1/test that would be a big cost for a school with hundreds of students to test on a daily basis. I'm nervous

Cost is a factor also. My Jetta is pretty much all three (for a given value of "powerful") but the diesel engine was a significant extra cost when the car was new and helps it hold its value now. -Curt On Wednesday, August 12, 2020, 3:27:44 PM EDT, Allan Streib via Mercedes wrote: S

Wasn't 2004 still M112 with 733.6? So a E320 4Matic would be the same mechanically as my 1999 wagon, which was originally rated 27 hwy, since reduced to 24 or 25 under the 2008 guidelines. 27 is entirely achievable with a good running wagon with 240kmi on the odo, a RWD sedan should get 30.

Sure, an A class with the CDI engine could get you maybe 60MPG on the highway. At a whopping 60HP, not sure you'd call it powerful by any standard, but in a very small car like that it's probably adequate. But it's a far cry from an E320 4MATIC wagon on all other measures. Allan Curt Raymond wr
