My E320 gets around 25mpg combined, not terrible, but the extra hp is nice some times. My daughter's runs stronger and doesn't have ASR, will smoke the tires off the line for about a block, rev-limits out in 2nd gear. Not bad for a heavy old six-banger. I stopped buying her fuel and tires.
I have both. The gasser is a simple point-and-shoot vehicle, quieter and easier to fuel, starts in any weather without glowing first and rattling. On top of that, if you need basic maintenance most any "import" shop will look at it, but not at the diesels.
The gasser is for sale, not unusual enough.
