Murph,

Could you let me know if they do it for you and get the name of the service guy so my guys can contact them if they say they cant do mine again.

Cheers

Am I missing something here? Is that the fuel economy you're getting? Does diesel give you that much of an improvement?

I just turned 1000 miles, and get a combined (89 oct. gasoline) local/highway of just under 20.

Ouch under 20 mpg, look on the bright side, our petrol is currently running at $6.10 per Us gal.
BB is correct with 31 mpg, but as a diesel engine gets run in, it loossens up, gains pwer and its economy improves.
In gereneral driving I'm getting over 500 miles out of a tank at 35 mpg. On a sustained long distance rum I get over 36 mpg and my best figures so far for a 110 mile run travelling at 70/60/50 mph (in other words keeping to the speed limits) is 42.2 Mpg.

So to answer your question LeoSoFl, in fact you actually get MORE than 31 mpg from a diesel, and even if you drive it really hard, it is still very, very acceptable compared to a petrol

oh, and just another thing, the 300 CRD goes like stink and sounds lovely when pushed hard !!

Nice figures. With the Hemi (full stock) on euro roads the average (10'000mi) give a terrible 14.8 mpg with swiss fuel 95 @ $5.2 US Gal.
