Yeah, my 300D turbo gets regularly 32MPG and sometimes when it's cool and the planets align 34MPG which is why I was very disappointed with that same economy out of the 240D. I now have a regular 140 miles commute while back in school getting re-edumacated so figured the 240D should be doing around 40MPG give or take. Coulda sworn I'd seen many claim the same for the manual cars.
