I do remember the inlaws having a Corola diesel and it was nice! I'm suspecting the MPG figure is Blown up! I love this when i see the statements of Mercedes 300d owners claiming 30+mpg too! I've owned two 300d's(1984 & 1985) and have yet to see more than 25mpg max! Same with some TDI owners listings!! |
on your 300d,
did you have your injectors cleaned? did you regularly change filters? regularly change oil? once a year did you adjust your valves? In my 82 300d I regularly get mid 30's and have hit 40 before on long highway trips and its quite annoying when people argue my mpgs because they went out and bought a 300d and just expect without any mods or routine maintenance that they will get 40mpg- If you do nothing expect low to mid 20's if you do everything you should most likely you will be right up there with me.
