[diesel_mercedes] Fuel Economy Check '82 240D Auto

 

233 miles , very little AC  use , no additives on the fuel as we ran out .

23.7 MPG , mostly SWMBO driving In Town .

Replaced the 20" wiper blades and bought a new bottle of Power Service Diesel Kleen in the white (Winter) bottle ,.

Ready for the forecatsed rains .

Very good , not terribly fast .

If it smokes blue , beware .

Also , if it has the vertical push button HVAC controls , be aware if the heater and AC don't work now , you're looking at well over $1,500 in making them work .

I am interested in a '77 300D.  5 cylinder non-turbo.  Are these good engines.  how do they compare with the 240D 4 cylinder as far as durability?
