Damn, and I thought the SD was doing fantastic when it topped 31 mpg on one occasion. Normally, it manages 29's on the summer fuel.
I drive a bit faster than you do, however.........typically 65-70 for 95% highway traffic.
You've got a good running machine there.
These W126's are definitely sensitive to the wind. 60 mph gets you significantly better fuel economy than 70 mph.
