That's optomisted as all hell on the weight, my scales at work say I'm 3780 with me and under a quarter tank of fuel in my w123. I've never seen under 25mpg, and I have a LEAD foot on takeoff. Best has been dead on 30mpg running 80mph north up I-55 I believe it is for a 300 mile stretch. I can get 28 if I want to impersonate the old VW diesels.

And I bet mine's faster than a w126.. :p
