Why yes I did. Drove Mary (1983 300d) from La Verne to Huntington & Fremont area to visit my wife's unique family for dinner. The OM617 did not miss a beat. Filled both cars up on Wednesday for $4.03/gal, and had a tough choice as to which car to drive as each has good and bad points.

Oops ~
I over slept (didn't really sleep much atall to be honest) , stumbled out to my faithful Diesel Sports Coupe and lit it off in the deep gloomy pea souper fog , discovered I'd neglected to fill the tank and headed off to the local discount filling station where I tanked up on $3.979 / Gal. Dino Diesel fuel , discovered the last tankful returned 25.3 MPG , not great but not too bad either .
As I drove off into the gloom , heater , radio , head and fog lights all on , the Bosch voltage regulator kept the charge rate at 13.667 VDC for most of the trip to Pasadena , in time it reduced to 13.4 VDC indicating my battery is fully charged . .
I hope to soon replace yet another rubber air cleaner mount , this time instead of the URO brand , I got German round ones ~ I'd wanted to try to hexoganal ones but they were out of stock .
I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving , I did .
-Nate
