It is related to all those bags of heavy cat litter that you haul home

My 1983 and 1985 CA version 300TD wagon each get about 20 mpg around town. Why?

240D - 30mpg highway.
. The newer 60x engines are more efficient, the car is

that's usually also at sustained higher speeds (75-85+, and it still
cruises nicely into triple digits).
in more typical daily/commute use on B99, which involves a mix of
surface street, lots of stop-and-go, and Bay Area Kombat
25-28 MPG combined driving. 2-3 MPG less in the winter months.
