I have had the 85 300d for about 14 months now and drive it to and from Jacksonville 5 to 6 days a week, average 72 miles round trip. Plus I use my car while at work as well, another 10 miles or so a day. Almost all of that has been on WVO. That WAS the only reason that I bought this car, but I have come to really love this car!

About 1,000+/- miles a week on the 190D, although it has been somewhat lighter the past couple of months, there are those times when it is substantially more.

Had mine for about a month now. DD 60 miles a day. Replacing a 1998 Chrysler Concorde. Toyed with the idea of a MB diesel since getting my truck. Had the chance and jumped. I see MB diesels as my DD for many years to come.
