You alls have been reading my real life fuel economy postings often because it's the # 1 question I get and , I'm one of those who likes to keep track on every vehicle I own .
Clapped out 1981 240D W/ slush box , routinely gets 25 ~ 27 MPG's in mixed driving , going slowly (60 MPH) across the Desert gets 27 ~ 34 MPG's fully loaded , always with the AC on full .
'78 & '80 N/A 300CD's both got 23 ~ 26 MPG's , both had over 300,000 miles and slush box trannies , one had AC (EVIL Klima I 
) that worked , one didn't .
'84 300CD W/ slush box got 23 ~ 26 MPG's on the old nearly dead engine that ran like a raped ape , I rebuilt the engine and the mileage went up to 27 MPG , has dropped back down to 23 ~ 25 now so I have the injectors out and waiting for a valve cover gasket , I hope it'll run stronger and improve fuel economy with LESS DAMN SMOKE once I finish this part of the job .
