That is similar to what I am getting in my manual 240D
I have adjusted the valves - no help
This month I am going to check my timing chain stretch and IP timing.
If that all lines up, I will clean my injectors, and if that doesn't help, I will replace the nozzled then pop test and balance.
Hopefully that will reclaim my lost mpg.
The thing is, that the car is running really well. Minimal blowby, good power and speed, and no smoke except when I look behind me at night (through a car headlight).
I will be watching this thread for other thoughts/suggestions!
