Your other choice is an old school MB but since some of them barely
break 30 mpg and are glacially slow, I might just get a newer Ford
Focus gasser that gets 35 mpg.
30 mpg for a very heavy, very safe/solid 4-dr sedan running on any form
of Bio-diesel is one hell of a lot preferable to ANY 'gasser' @ 35 mpg.
I was always impressed with the 30+ miles/gallon my 1980 300D gave me.
In addition this 59 yr old life-long car-freak will state without
hesitation, that the 300D was THE best car I've ever driven. The best
handling, the safest, the most road-worthy by far. I'm not a reluctant
or slow driver. I was warned I'd not be satisfied with the Mercedes
because it would be slow. I never was!! I pushed the (#*%&%*&^$ out of
that car and was always happy with the performance. It's a heavy,
well-made diesel torgue-monster - it can take it. In addition, mine
wasn't even the turbo-diesel!
I'm now looking for another - the best I can find to replace my newer
gas Mercedes.
These babies are not only a smart buy for bio-fuel folk, but they are
nothing less than the best cars on the road! (o.k. I have a bias).
Also, they imported some MB diesels in the mid-late nineties. Again...
great cars!

P.S. By the way, the Mitsubishi Coup that slammed into me from behind
and drove me totally through a major intersection... was destroyed all
the way up to the windshield. My 300D was totally unscathed! The only
sign of being hit was a few pieces of glass embedded in the hard rubber
on the back bumper! Can a Focus take that?
