I'm thinking this would be a nice compromise between fuel efficiency and performance.
I know the mpg gets better as the 124 line progresses with the 3.2 M104 in 1993 having the best mileage ratings.

But I haven't seen any feedback on the mpg returns on a 2.8. I don't want a 2.6, I think that would be too meager a performer.

Any owners out there have any comments about this car?

Thanks
