Some AC used , mostly in town driving by SWMBO .
216 miles , 25.9 MPG .
Power Service Cetane Boosters used @ 3 Oz. per fill up , I only fill up when it's below 1/4 tank . silver bottle as So. Cal. doesn't really get cold enough to worry about jelling fuel .
(White Bottle for Winter , Silver Bottle for Summer)
This is SWMBO's nice old 240D with 333,278 miles on the original engine , it has one bad cylinder but using the Cetane Booster regularly stopped the dead cylinder missing @ idle ~ not bad as it's also cheaper & easier than a valve job , you know once I get the engine open I'm going to want to go whole hog on it and $pend 4 X what the car will ever be worth .
Plus of course I might as well re seal the tranny , it drips a bit .
For now , it idles smooth as silk as long as the Cetane Boost is in .
As I drove to fill it up , SWMBO asked me " do you still have enough 'Go-Go Juice ' ? " . she's cute ! I call it Go-Go Juice as she doesn't know nor care about the details , she just likes how well this old $1,500 car runs 10 years later....
