116 diesel question
What kind of mileage does a 116 diesel achieve? I am assuming the only model was the 300SD???

Bonehead will tell you positively what the W116 gets, but, we put him to bed already.
IIRC it does about the same as the W126............27 mpg overall. |

I used to get a consistant 27mpg.
116 300SD production years were '78 (rarest year), '79 and '80. '78 and '79 are listed as having 110hp, while the '80 is listed at 120hp. Don't know how this plays out in reality. '78 and '79 have 120mph speedos, '80 is an 85mph unit. Sunroofs are rare on the '80s, common on the previous 2 years. '80s usually have the passenger side mirror, earlier cars it seems to have been an option. You have a 6.9, so the rest of the usual 116 issues apply. My old 300SD was my fav among the 5 MB's I've owned. It died of rust.

Pretty Certain. My current '80 has the 85 mph speedo and s0 has every other '80 car I have seen. Even an '80 6.9 has the 85mph'er.
I've seen one '80 with a sunroof, so they do exist, jsut seem pretty rare. Various explanations have been put forth. Mirrors and speedos can be sawpped easily.

My 300SD gets about 26-27 on the highway, noticeably less around town, because I have a very heavy foot. Mike
