That probably depends on the usage. eg: around town or over the road. Our SD which was regularly driven 100mi/day commuting on Parkways was running close to 30mpg. I never bothered to check the D. Personally I like the feel of the 300D slightly better, my wife likes the SD. Other than monitoring the fuel mileage as a sign of potential maintenance problems, I always looked at the mileage difference as inconsequential.As I recall, the SD get 1 or 2 mpg more than a D due to the more aerodynamically sound body. The w123 300D diesel is boxy and only achieves (average) 25 mpg.

What is why? Because you think an SD gets worse mileage? than a D? I
would think the SD would be better in that regard than a D(123).
