I just refilled my 240D tank for the second time since doing my valve adjustment. The first tank gave me right at 30 MPG, so I didn't believe it. Today, I got 29.8, and I've been running with the A/C most of the time.

Before the valve adjustment, I was getting 25. I guess those three intake valves with no clearance really was killing the engine.
