iono, the 240D I used to drive had fairly terrible mileage for what people think it should get, as a diesel. I pitty those that might find the car at a used car dealer and get sold that it's a diesel and therefore gets high mileage... Later they find mpg figures in the mid 20's (I think best tank was 29ish) while tooling around on the highway at 55mph :/
I'm not saying it's impossible (I'd love to know exactly what's in there), but the 240D wasn't anywhere near the pinnacle of fuel efficiency (the even older Datsun 510 got at least the same FE).
That aside, I loved that 240 (it's what I learned to drive stick on and when a door closed, you knew it)
The car is still on the road too, it was sold with over 300k miles on the clock (damn I still wish I had the car)
