What MPG are you getting???

I just checked my MPG's in my 87 300D at last fill and got the best reading yet @ 32.688 MPG. Driving was about 40% rural, 25 to 40 mph and 60% hiway at 65 mph. BB

About a month to as much as a month and a half per tank.

1985 300D, I drove up north and back at 70 to 80 mph and got 22.3 mpg on flying J diesel. (Wisconsin winter blend) The best I ever got was 25 mixed driving.

Still at 25-26, looking at my fuel records from the last 40 thousand miles, it's not changed much. Ocasional 30, ocasional 22. Found diesel cheaper this week, don't think it's as good as my usual though.

Interisting note, I've got an injector nailing a bit now and again, and a slight bit more smoke(winter fuel?), but MPG is the same. Gotta love a diesel..

Jetta averaged 47 mpg with cc set on 78 mph for most of my trip to Southern Mississippi running 49 cetane B2 fuel. However coming back with 40 cetane crap in tank and running 90+ mph (with one 2 mile 110 run making a Toyota Camry fall back) from Jackson MS to Memphis TN following a Porsche and I averaged 34 mpg back to MO. 490 miles in 6hrs & 20 minutes and Memphis to home was never above 78 mph .

Wonder what MPG the Porsche was getting for the trip??? I bet he didn't give a rip. I did notice his plate had a star with BOP initals.

I get 24-26 average................thats 50% city driving, And long trips have been in the mountains so have never found out flat and level highway milage yet.

Somehow I managed to get 51.5 mpg from the Sonoma (remember, that's with UK gallons, not the smaller US gallon). Mostly highway miles, little town driving. I keep the speed down to around 55mph. Best by far I have ever gotten. Usually around 40mpg. Still, not bad for a small truck.

I adjusted the pump some a couple of weeks ago and it's been better on fuel ever since.

I've got a lifetime average of 22.45 MPG (though, that lifetime is only three weeks), with a max of 26.25 MPG, which was actually around town driving. Thats on my '82 300TD.

My SR50 gets between 100 and 110 MPG, depending on how hard I drive it.

I avaerage 28MPG on bothe my 300SDs. Sometimes 30, some times 26. Higher speeds will reduce the mileage.

Right now not too good, it has decreased, but I am hoping to increase it after repairing a few fuel leaks tonight

'85 300 td---country road driving with some highway I get around 26 with the winter blend and 28-30 with the summer stuff.

This coming spring when I drag my car out of winter storage, I'm gonna start running WVO blend and am interested what MPG I'll get then.

Cheers,

Bill

I have a long commute and it's about 70% hwy (60 mph) and the rest stop and go. In winter I get between 28.5 and 30, summer around 27 with the AC on.

81 300SD


Diesel is 2.19/gallon here. Unleaded down to 1.77 - .40/gallon difference.
AAARRGG!!!

I just checked my mileage yesterday, 27.8 in my 1981 300SD. I've had as low as 20 in town with the a/c on, and as high as 29 on the highway with no a/c.

[KCampbell]

So far, and it's only been a few tanks, I'm seeing a consistent 26mpg with the 300SD. My neighbor tells me that she sees 26mpg in her 300SD regardless of how she drives it.

On the same driving pattern my Jetta TDI 5 spd Wagon gets 47mpg.
