WOW! How how can I get this kind of "gas" mileage!!
http://springfield.craigslist.org/car/480200277.html
Feel free to contact this person to ask them their secret on getting such fantastic GAS mileage; I just wonder if a person drove this car real easy if they could get better gas mileage than stated.

It does say "Gas mileage." I'd expect that a turbo diesel wouldn't burn ANY gas . . .

Odd, I think he is just plain mistaken. If he was exaggerating the mileage he wouldn't say 30+ highway, 20 city, he'd say 30+ highway, 27 city or something like that.l

Wow...that's pretty viscous...But did he change the post. Now he claims he's getting 32-35 on the highway or 20 mpg around town. Not 40.

That is still too high for the 300D. A 240 w/a manual, and in perfect running order, maybe.
Brian, drop the mileage to 60 miles on two gallons...see what happens...

Yeah, that might have cost you just a few points.

I sent him a note:
"Mark: I understand that your 300D comes with a baseball bat. Very unwise." ...and received this response: "Just when dealing with as$holes it does. Decent folk that are genuinely interested in older Mercedes diesels need not worry. Which one of those 2 are you? Mark 417-619-5543 if you are interested." Can't believe he is broadcasting his phone #. What a DB.

You ppl get worked up over nothing. He might have a 2.88 speedo in a 3.07 or something.
