i am very happy with the 99 e300 i bought and was considering picking up another mercedes diesel

maybe a 87 190dt if i can find one
i consistently get 32-34mpg in my e300 and at first was under the impression the 190dt was a smaller, lighter car with maybe a smaller more efficient motor and would get 35-40mpg

but after reading lots of 190 posts the last few hours i am not sure that it true

for dependability and mpg is the 190dt as good a car?

i am somewhat concerned with getting into the various vacuum issues with the 190 that i dont seem to have on the e300

anybody with experience with the 190dt i would appreciate your input
