Make certain tire pressure is proper.
No excessive weight in the vehicle... i.e. empty trunk, no junk in it, etc.
Don't have it full throttle often.
Basically be sensible and aware.  |
Do you know what the drag coefficient is for the W123? Thanks, I'll try slowing down. I adjusted my ALDA back to its "tweaked" configuration, hopefully this will yield better fuel economy.
I'm sure the junk in my trunk will also have to leave should I yearn for better mileage, but I just noticed the difference between original spec ALDA and its tweaked spec -- the original spec gave less miles per gallon.
Also noticed, starting is much smoother with the tweaked ALDA.
