been getting 28, all the tweaks and tires finally started working. Replacing the Thermostat was a biggy

Nice! I have been getting 28-30mpg in my '87 300D...I'm expecting that to go up after new injector nozzles and lifters.

I got my tires at 34 psi, I removed the alda, removed the egr and associated tubeing, replaced the bad thermostat and run it with a qt of two stroke motor oil in the fuel.

I can't seem to crack the 41 mpg ceiling, in the CDI. Oh well......

take the spare tire out and tell the rest of the family to walk or take the bus

You can go higher. The sidewall rating is only the max load rating -- it is not related to the burst pressure, which is significantly higher. I'm running 50 pounds all around right now... the difference in ride is quite minor as long as you are on paved roads.

2 Samuel 12:13: "David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” And Nathan said to David, “The Lord also has put away your sin; you shall not die."

I've heard that the W124 cars will eat tires when they are set above the recommended levels...is this not true? If your tires wear out even 20% faster, that negates a lot of savings.

34 psi for tires shouldn't be out of line, but think you're right, I was surprised on how heavy that little pig was.

If you add 10% more fuel each fill-up, you can go 10% more miles on it...

one quart to one fill up of 15 gallons comes to 1.7% of total fill up for a gain of 12.5% in mileage. even if it doesn't increase mileage it's lubing the IP and injectors
