I was on E500.com and came across a post that was kinda interesting... which led me to the posting of this thread.

How often do you drive your diesel? I would assume most of you drive your diesel daily, and that many of you only own diesel cars to begin with.

I usually take the 300DT on longer trips.. when I drive 50-100miles+ out of town. The C280 tends to be a better around town car as it has more low end power for manuvering and rush hour... and is less stressful to drive in bumper to bumper traffic... I dont worry about getting hit by someone brusing their teeth or sippin on starbucks and yappin on the phone. The C280 is also the car I drive in the rain.... its easier to wash- less crevices and surface area, and allows for the 300DT to stay clean + detailed in the garage. I like to save the 300DT for longer trips when I can set the cruise at 75mph and relax, or when I go to the coast.... the 300DT feels more special to me than the C280, and I like to use it for more special things.

What are your driving habits?
