I need a reliable vehicle for this summer to commute on weekends to my house from school.580 miles round trip.I'd hate to break down on the Jersey turnpike on a Fri. night.Towing would be a nightmare.I have heard that these are the cheapest of all Benz's to up-keep.What can I expect for highway mileage.Now that Gas(ewww) is almost $2.00/gal.Any trouble areas I should look for? Help me 240D
owners.
P.S.Filled up my 300D today...346 miles took exactly 10 gal.
