Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5w40 synthetic (basically same as Delvac 1) every 9-10,000 miles or so. I did an oil analysis on the 92 after 7500 miles and the soot was at only 0.8%!

I've never gotten higher than 28.7 mpg on mine.

What am I doing wrong?

This is almost exclusively highway driving as well, though, it is in a very windy part of the world.

Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.

take a walk down memory lane...

I've been beaten!

1987 190D 2.5 Turbo 295,000 miles on original not rebuilt motor, trans, turbo - everything.

I get from 27.6 to 45mpg c/d depending on conditions.

oil, and change intervals;
Rotella Synthetic 15w40 or Valvolie synthetic 15w40
only MB genuine filters

3,100 mile intervals.

I drive hard too.

113K on my 1993

+1, except I do mine ever 4200 or so. I do run WVO blends, so I change it a little more frequently than normal.

I figure its cheap insurance. In that 4200 mile span, the engine consumes no oil whatsoever.
