I love good fuel economy ! .
This is a slushbox tranny so the figures I get are about normal .
Plus of course , the engine in this car is shot , totally worn out so I try to drive it *gently* not like I hammer my poor old Sports Coupe .

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. :-)
