Are there any MBs which can attain a consistent 45+mpg like the TDIs can? I hear the new CDI will be over 40mpg but....
Only the 190D's as far as I know, and while more powerful and heavier, there not quite in VW diesel MPG teritory, or price for that matter. The newer CDI stuff is just flat out amazing, but they also have six miles of wire and computers, not much of a comparison really.

Jury is out on the IDI 1.9 for me, time will tell. I'm pretty content with a 1.6na to be honest, long as it's running well and geared right. It's that 240D mentality..
