1984 300d gives 44 mpg, huh?
Check out this ad on Craigslist. Hmmm, something tells me that this guy REALLY wants to sell his car.

Anyone that buys a car off of craig's list or flea-bay is just about retarded. So the 44 mpg claim seems reasonable

44 sounds bs in an 85 he might get better than avg mileage (2.88 diff). I don't even know that is really feasible in a 2.47 diff. Maybe in a 2.47 diff in a 5 speed manual in fifth gear at 1800rpm. Infact I would be interested to hear on anyone that has a 2,47 and a manual.

Must be "new math" ... since when does 31mpg = 44 mpg? And what does he mean by "road rally tuned" and "Turbo boost set for performance" Is he pushing 26 psi?
If you are near there check it out

The 440 on 14 gallons I think was his city driving
Quote:
I think he was using the 440 on 14 gallons as his city driving usage. I wrote him to let him know if the car gave 44 mpg hwy, he should give it to Mercedes for their museum; as it's about 10 mpg more than others give. jeff |

I did not see where the seller claimed 44 MPG. He just said 440 miles on 14 gal. average.
Maybe I missed something in the post. |

Price seems kind of high for that milage, but those are some sweet rims! I wouldn't mind having those on my wagon. What would be the cost of those apiece? If it were closer, I might buy the car and swap rims/tires and resell for a fair price.
