I get about 24 in the city and 30 on the highway. thats a larger gap than on my gassers. But on the highway I tend to go the speed limit in my benz, in the gassers I'm going 5 to 8 above. My odometer stopped with a PO at 217, he had it for two years so I can guess at the mileage of around 275. If he told the truth. I like my old car. Slow and steady wins the race.
