that said...... i fed it premium and it rarely got more than 13-14 mpg in mix driving.... I had the 4.5.... I don't know what the 2.8 six got...
it only broke down on me once..about a block from my house...kingpin issue..
you can't drive them through water however..... heavy new orleans flooding type rains, took out two low mounted starters....
I have never owned a car where everytime you fill it up, people literally walk up to you to look at the car....

I love 108's but the oldest MBZ I have driven is my 1985 W123 and have driven a 1986 W126. Are the 108's still pretty solid after 30 years, do the interiors/door panels etc generally rattle a lot or what? Anyone around Santa Rosa wanna give a ride in a 108?
