I bought a Mercedes diesel in 1979. It got 28 mpg city or highway, but the power it was supposed to have wasn't there. It wasn't the turbo model but they weren't any quicker because it was off the li

Do you think Dr. Mayf is worried about gas mileage as he approaches 200 MPH? Then why should we be concerned at 125? Fred Baum 9470768, can't go 125, but been to 105 **See AOL's top rated recipes (ht
