[MBZ] **wiring harness on the W140 Diesel **

[Curt Raymond]

Is that all? I'd hoped for better since I'd been thinking of building one someday. My 240D would average around 28mpg but that was almost exclusively highway driving 80-90 miles a day. 
   
  My 190D is averaging only a little better at around 32mpg but that includes so bad tanks while it was leaking fuel dragging the average down. I've only just gotten myself out of the habit of driving with the pedal to the floor which in most cases the 190D doesn't need. I'm also trying to decrease my average speed which should increase mileage.

I can do maybe 25 in our '82 240D/3.0. Maybe I need to start looking at
something newer.
