Diesel W123 MPG. Lets get real! Chime in with your MPG

OK. So we see these on Craigs and on Ebay with people claiming outrageous MPG.
I know the VW diesels can actually get 50MPG.
But, I've had half a dozen of these.
My 81' W123. I usually got around 24. The best I ever got on an all highway trip with over inflated tires I got 33MPG.
On my 95 W124the best I ever got was 37MPG on an all highway trip on a very cold night, other than that mid 20s.
I'm looking at a W123 Diesel wagon with a 4 spd. He claims 40-45 MPG.
I know that love can make a man do and say things that aren't quite true.

What MPG do you get?
Do you do anything special to get it? (Eco mods, synth oil/ trans fluid, air dams, smooth caps etc..)
