I've been getting 22MPG with every tankful of winterized diesel on my '82 240D. I drive it pretty hard(70-80MPH on the freeway) and I expect to see 25-28MPG when it gets warmer. I don't see the car getting over 30MPG unless I fix the cruise and drive at a steady 55(not likely).

I'm not really too concerned but I'm paying a bit more attention to it at 1.979 per gallon. The 90K service is coming due in about 3500 miles. Does anyone think the valve adjust will make a difference? I also just bought a case of Delvac-1 and from what I read on this site it can make a 1-2MPG difference.

On another note, the trunk reeks of diesel. Is this a gas cap issue? I don't see where anything is leaking.
