Re: [diesel_mercedes] Fuel Economy Check '82 240D Slushbox

 

Yes there is a senior pass for parks, get a 12V oscillating fan(Wal mart) and clip it to the arm grabber on the passenger side, you will be amazed how much you like that. Max

515 miles (low fuel light on @ 499 in the middle of NOWHERE, OOPS ) , AC the entire time , mostly between 60 & 70 MPH , lots of hills I slowed down to 45 MPH on a few and used my hazard lights , the Big Rigs were even slower so I was prolly O.K. safety wise but.....

Startron used , the clear plastic intake screen look like the fuel is clear but the screen proper is stil dark , I think I'll change it the next time I get below 1/4 tank .

Car seems to be running fine , I *do* wish I had all four cylinders of compression but no oil squirting out every where so I'll prolly do a valve job on it when I get back to Los Angeles .

Rebuild the tranny to .

The R-12 Charged AC seems to be working O.K. , not great but cool enough when I hang my shirt on the rear seat headrest (TIP: when you find European Spec. Junkers @ P-A-P, GRAB the unobtanium stuff !)  and just wear my tank top .

Carrying and drinking , plenty of water in my 64 Oz. insulated jug .

I was told there's a $10 Senior's Pass fot Federal National Parks , as soon as I see where to buy it , I will .

I've seem more bums than usual and bought gasoline for two Couples , one was clearly B.S. scammers as their truck only took 5 gallons , the others I met in " DO NOT brake down here,New Mexico" looked pretty rough and had no cute story , just ' we are trying to get to Colorado ' so I bought them 10 gallons .

I'd hate to be stuck here .
