I am following this thread. I also get 12mpg average in my 300TE. I don't think plugs are your problem either.

Pawo: Since we are talking gear replacement get this -- I pulled the odo in my 260E and ran a drill on the back...the odo span fine. I plug it back into cluster and it would get to about 2/10 of a mile then stop. Any ideas?

There was a sticker on the back from a shop in LA who fixed it before...obviously didn't last long as it was noted at 80k miles...so it lasted 3k before failing again.
