Having the 87 300D for 3 years has been a wonderful experience and having a 30 mpg average even better.....with the increase in fuel priceses rising, I'm wanting to know more about the 602 engines.

We know that the 126 and 124 were limited to 86-87-90-91-92-93-95, were also the 190, or 201 car available for these years?

I want to buy the latest built 190 D, with the least mileage and am willing to pay that market price.....low mileage is say 80K to 120K in maintained condition.

If you, or anyone knows of such a car for sale, I will be interested.

Email me here, or email me at Windmill@isp.com........steve

AFAIK the 190D 2.2 was available in 84-85, 190D 2.5 in 86-89 and the 190D 2.5t in 87.

So Sixto, in your opinion, which is, or was, the better configuration?

Not much is, or has ever been, discussed here about the 602....

I want to achieve maximum mpg....I don't like the TDI, and have also owned a 190E, and believe I could get mid to high 30's with the later 190-D

if you are after max mileage i would go for a 2.2 fiver. it will be a little slow but will make a 240 look like a slug...what am i saying? a 240 IS a slug.

love em though.

Am aware of the 240 slug......My 190E was a really nice car...but bet the 190-D can be even a better bet....BB

I have no experience with the 2.5 but my mileage is consistantly over 40 with the 2.2 190D on wvo. 43 - 45 mpg on straight #2 dino, however, I drive almost all flatland highway miles at 63 mph (average 800-1000 miles a week).
