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. :-)
