Hmm... MPG not what i expected....
Hmm... MPG not what i expected....
So in my 82 300D im only getting 20mpg, at most. I adjusted the valves, but have not got around to IP Timing. Not sure what gears i have, but i run around 3000 rpm at 70mph.
Any help is much appreciated,
Eric
That sounds right for a stock car.
You should have a 3.07 diff.
Also depending on your location you might have that low cetane crap fuel.
25 mpg should be closer on a 300d turbo with average mixed city,highway driving
Don't get caught
The cops in southeastern ohio probably dont know the difference
But i noticed other people getting alot higher MPG (30-35)
How do they achieve this?

Well i dont have to worry about getting caught filling up, we own a dairy farm and have a 3,000 gallon tank full of offroad for our equipment
But how it the VNT working out for you? I wish i had enough knowledge about them to hook one up myself
I've seen our 83 get 29mpg highway at 75-80mph would probably do better at around 70ish

Does your pump have enough fuel to support it throughout the rpms?
Sounds completely awesome
Not yet, I haven't touched the pump yet
One thing at a time
I get 33+ @ 65. I average 20 around town. (heavy foot and mountains)

65mph is just about the best speed for milage
I had a 1966 200d and the owners manual said it would get (60mpg @ 30mph) 50 mpg @ 40 mph (40mpg @ 50mph) and 30mpg @ 60mph +
Efficiency. Get air in and out without the engine working to do it.
I actually have no idea what my timing is either. I've never checked it.
