my 1981 240d, just purchased 3 weeks, ago, averages the same as yours. someone else told me my odometer is off. They told me to check my odometer miles against the mile markers along the interstate.

Have yet to check, but I will check this week, using my handheld GPS. I also have a 1984 Isuzu diesel pickup, manual 4 speed, 501,000 miles. MPG is 35-36 , but no air.

Reason I bought 240d is it is a diesel and has air. Too hot in NC to drive without AC.

sure hope this 240d can last as long as a cheap isuzu pickup.
