what is typical mpg of 240D AT?
What city mileage does a 240D typcially get? These have first gear start, right?
Thanks, Sixto |

I'd guess 23-27mpg based on what my stick shift 240D gets I get 24 (flogging) to 28 (highway commute). Somewhere there are big threads on fuel economy (problem is that they are too big to sift through easily...)

it is possible to get 30 mpg in the 240D during highway driving i belive... IMHO the om616 was just to small for the w123..

my old and worn 240 d with clutch and 285k miles gets near 30 mpg irrespective of city or highway. lots of air in the tires.

I also get an average of 30 mpg in combined driving, with highway miles usually exceeding city miles by a large margin.
That's with a car having an engine and transmission in great condition, good wheel bearings, and no sticking caliper problems. The car really will coast a long way in neutral. Ken300D

i used to get around 27-29 combined.
Now after a trip to houston, with a heavy handed Italian tune-up i am getting something more like 22-24 combined. But the car feels more powerful... almost like an actual car, i do not have anymore problem to keep up with traffic. 0-60 in 19 seconds!!!

Thanks for all the input. Does that mean no one creeps around the city in a 240D AT?
