My '83 300SD will get that kind of fuel economy also. It got 30MPG at 60MPH

I hate (not really) to set Kaleb off again, but the '92 300D 2.5T has been
driven 7595 miles since I got it, and I've burnt 227.2 gallons driving those
miles. They are a mix of commuting to work and highway. That's 32.4 mpg. The
'90 gets about 1 mpg less.

I can never get any better than 22 mpg in my '77 300Dever. Air on (when
it used to work), air off...loaded, empty...uphill, downhill...80 mph ave or
60 mph ave.
You all
difference? Or is that driving style also?

When my '78 300D had about 40K miles on it, I drove it one summer day from
San Mateo CA to Redding CA in about four hours at a steady 65-70 mph. All
