It's because you're not running waste vegetable oil. I dunno. :confused:

Two miles from my house and ohh how my eyes hurt.
300CD with a 603, gutted interior, and a camo paint job.

Actual Diesel Fuel Economy
 

Yes ~ I am always pleased when my '84 300CD's OM617 gets 24 MPG's .

I recently got one tank full at 27.5 MPG (I do mileage checks at every fillup) and I wonder how the hell that happened .

My '82 20D used to get 27~ 32 MPG's routinely depending on where I drove it, it loved crossing the Mojave Desert @ 60 MPH with the AC on, I once got 34 MPG's out of a tank of fuel ans was flabbergasted .

The key seems to be not flooring it all the time and keeping the cruising speeds down so to avoid the wind resistance penalty .

Camo 300CD
 

GAH ! my eyes :eek: like a bell can not be un rung, this cannot be un seen .

I can see it now............taking a young woman you met on her first date with you and you pull up in front of her house in that rig!!!!!!!!!!!

Prolly O.K. if you're taking her duck hunting......

Apart from the paint job, it's bit tamer than my 300D was that I drove when I met my now wife. She about cried when I sold that car.

That being said I'd buy it up if it was closer and for about a $1000.

I'm going to look at a non running W210 diesel when possible. I'll give it a compression check and injector crack before I buy.

I hope I can pull a Jake12tech

I'm also going to check out a W124 E420 non running due too electrical, will compression check it as well.

Let me know if you want a PPI report, I went and looked at the car yesterday.
