I'm glad he didnt post that here, he'd get torn to pieces (...300DT, 30mpg city....)

We are a tough crowd at peachparts and are proud of it =)

Maybe the low miles and high fuel mileage are related?

Still a bit high for a rust-belt car.

Seems fairly advertised to me. I get 27-31 mpg and drive mine like I stole it, every single day. if someone were to drive it with a light foot, no reason to believe 30 mpg city is unobtainable.

No way. My wife drove our 87 300TD for 13 years and for in town driving, it consistently averaged 24-25mpg. Hiway was 28-29mpg, never 30. This was averaged over around 150K miles of use. We've both got pretty light feet and don't speed. Even considering the extra weight for the 300TD, I don't buy the statement of 30mpg in town for a sedan.

Maybe it's 30 mpg "in town", i.e. he's in his town but never has to stop at any lights and goes 45.

Sometimes there is no real difference between in town and on the highway (and the reverse can be true in Chicago as well!!)

I tend to get about 26-28 in town in the summer, and about 31-32 highway. I guess it is possible, although I'd like to know what he is doing to achieve that.
