The worst I ever got out of my 83 300SD was 19 mpg, driving it like I stole it. Long road trips 25 ish, with people and luggage. Best ever, 27. 85's do better, due to taller gearing.

I'm impressed to see the high numbers on OM602 powered 124's. Should save plenty of money to pay for a new head gasket every few hundred thousand miles.
