Thanks for the correction.

Unfortunate but I have to correct myself - they're actually 2.24.

Yeah, and it's amazing what a difference it does for economy (and sluggish 0-30) vs my 500sl rear end (which should be the same as the 500e)

18 hwy vs 22hwy!

Have a PPI done!

I traded my '92 190E which had all service records from when the car was new at a Mercedes dealership. Most of these records were hand written because they were either completed by me or a mechanic friend. A friend bought the car and the dealership destroyed the records that I had kept! So, sometimes there are service records -
A PPI would be worth the money spent.
