That seems a little poorer than I'd expected - about 8.75L/km or roughly 21mpg? Is that what I should expect in the city? I'd assumed I should be getting more like 25mpg or so.
If it's within the realm of reasonableness (which it might be, because there have been a few occasions when I have driven it hard and fast on the freeway on this tank) then that is fine... but if not, what should I start looking at?
I'll also check around on the forum but figured I'd post here. If I take any action I'll update and pass on whatever I learn!
Best,
Josh

My 83 gets around 25 when i use it for commuting and around town. Should be a direct comparision to your 84, same differential and trans spec. And around 27-28 on the road.
Using the A/c a lot will reduce the number slightly.
Since the 300D is not a fast machine, I tend to drive it in a manner that ekes out the highest mileage..... different game, still fun.
