Yeah tell me about it. The best combined/average mileage I've seen from my 300SD with 70% highway driving and no A/C (during the winter) was 24mpg! These days all I get is 22-23mpg. And I keep my car well maintained. Yet everyday I see 300SDs listed on eBay as getting 30mpg! Give me a break. In fact back in the day the EPA estimated fuel mileage for the 300SD was 22mpg/city and 25mpg/highway, and EPA estimates are almost always over the real world figure by about 15%.
