I own a 1988 Mercedes 300TE and I was wondering about this SuperMID that I read in the sticky at the top.

My w124 300TE uses a Bosch K-Jet CIS....is it possible have this thing fit? I would love to be able to see what MPG I am getting if at all possible. It would really help me figure out what the car likes doing.

I get roughly about 17mpg average. I have a misfire going on which I am trying to resolve so I should get back up to about 21mpg when its fixed.

Can somebody explain to me why the blocking of the radiator increases mpg? Wouldn't that impede MPG because you are basically making more drag?

Thanks,
Robert
