Yeah ;
The newer ones get stunning fuel economy .
Like my oldies just fine though .
This one is the base model four cylinder 2.4 liter, it came with an 18 gallon feul tank so I sourced and installed a 21 gallon factory tank a few years ago....
I really miss those 27 MPG in town economies though .

Had a '95 300D and regularly got 30+ mpg, usually 33. Drove my wife nuts because of the miles I'd put on a tank and she was always sure we'd run out momentarily.

I've been waiting to see how far I could go on one tank full after adjusting the tranny's vacuum control, the low fuel lam came on at 389 miles and it began to sputter @ 506 miles so I coasted off the freeway and replaced the clear plastic intake screen (it'd been very clean until the bottom of the tank) , dumped in a gallon of fresh Diesel fuel I was carrying and made it to a filling station , 510 miles total .Sadly still only 25 MPG ~ I'm gojng to try adjusting the tranny to up shift sooner and hope that'll get my fuel economy back to where it used to be, 27/32 .-NateLIVE in the world as it is, WORK to make the world as it should be<20200130_163940[1].jpg>
