Hi everyone. I bought 1990 300E with 179k miles. Car is in good shape but Im wondering. My gas milage is aroung 13mpg combined city/highway. And car kinda
slow at pickup. Sometimes it moves very slowly then suddenly 1st gear kicks in and it jumps forward. I had 420sel before and it used to be slow off the start. But I heard that 300E should be quicker. Also when you change from reverse to drive RPM drop down to 350 and car almost stalls then RPM goes back up to 500. When cold its better to pick up speed and RPM will not drop down that much. Im in NYC and gas prices are high in here well I guess all across US now but 13mpg is too low I think. Apreciate any ideas. Thanks
