I think you all answered my original question. With Bob's answer above and him having the same car I concur with him and My 95 E420 measures at the same mid level point. I didn't think a simple question like this would have generated the interest it did (2 pages) but that goes to show you should never feel bad or stupid to ask ANY question related to cars... we all have different experiences and sharing all that helps the rest of us... like you did here! Cheers
