Armed with this info, drive till the reserve light comes on, go straight to the pumps and fill the sucker up. Now look at the pump reading, and add 9 (your reserve) to it - et voila, now you know how big your tank is ;)

including reserve, it is a little more than 21 US gallons, you do the conversion

so its 80.

is it possible for such a big car with only 100PM engine to use only 4 liters per km?

regards Andre

I average about 32 mpg in mixed use driving, higher on long highway drives, again you do the conversions

Yes, 70 litres sounds about right (I had a W124 a while ago).

What's the "100PM" mentioned by Andre?

DAS

what is mpg?

regards Andre

is it PH in english?

regards Andre

I don't know. What does it mean? Write it out in your language.

DAS

Miles per gallon.

1 Imperial gallon (as used in the UK and everywhere else where there is a gallon) = 4.55 l.

DAS

And/or German, as you appear to be Polish...

:-) DAS

What's the difference who am I ? Do you know words in all languages discribbing engine power? that's what I meant....

regards Andre

you seem to be wrong.... 1 gallon is about 3.5 l..... but thanks for the rest.

regards Andre

damn... I really sorry.... it's too late for me I guess...

so what should I use- Us gallons or not?

regards Andre

I used US gallons and for you it's 7.3l/100km but both city and highway. I used my W124 almost only on highway but I think it 's impossible to use about 4 liters per 100km. what do you think?

regards Andre

Hi André, the right abbreviation for that is HP (Horsepower), while we Germans say PS (Pferdestaerken). I did not say anything about your mention of the fuel consumption, because, frankly I did not understand your question.

BTW: Welcome in the EU, it is good to have you with us.

I assume that a Mercedes 300D with manual transmission and without A/C burns 8 to 9 litres per 100 km when you drive it with 120 kph on a highway. That would be a range of 750 - 800 kilometres with one tank. Driving slower, only 90 kph, may reduce the fuel consumption by one litre per 100 km. With a little luck, you could go 1000 km with one tank - when you ignore the yellow warning light at the fuel gauge;-)

Frank

miles per gallon

Thanks for the explaination :)

Thank you very much :) It is pleasure for us to be a part of UE but unfortunately nothing will change for us untill our government starts thinking logically....
