or you can paint it orange, with a big "01" on the side. Revenuers will never catch it. Ever seen an MB fly?

Hi Paul-
Noticed that you have a 300 D turbo. Mind telling me what the fuel economy is, MPG? Do you use biodiesel or WVO in it?
I'm a lookin' for one 1982-1985 300 D turbo.

I should've offered the fire inspector to smell my ummmm, exhaust pipe. He'd never believe it is BBQ time. A flying Diesel Mercedes?

I'm on a serious mission to trade my SD(too BIG) for a 82-84 300 D turbo.

So Ive had a broken ODO ever since Ive owned it. It is a turbo, but I can definately say that running 20-30% BioDiesel gets much better MPG's. When I run 100% petro, MPG sucks. With Bio, I can say, definately, a 20% increase in MPG's- of course, with a broken ODO, I can only judge by the fuel gauge, so this is purely subjective.
