Mark,
The speedometer and odometer are broken, so I'm not sure. Odo reads 137k, but knowing the previous owner, I'd estimate 150-160k now.
My mileage figures are based on my GPS unit. That's also how I know how fast (or slowly) I'm driving!

Nate,
I just tanked up my 83 240D w/4 speed manual. Easy driving, no A/C (doesn't work), 70% surface streets, 30% highway.
Miles: 1022.9
Fuel: 28.881 gallons
MPG: 35.418
Cost: $3.539/gallon
I was avoiding filling it up because of the clogged vent. I realized that I could leave the cap loose, but fuel would come out if it was too high. So this morning I took card of the vent and do went and filled it up (at my local Home Depot).
I've been keeping track of distance and fuel since I bought the car in February 10th this year. I've driven just over 8000 miles and averaged 35.3mpg. But then I drive like an old lady twice my age. :-)
