I am still enjoying my 240. I am slowly putting it back together. I have repaired the kickdown cable, the odometer, the shifter bushings, both fuel pumps, the fuel pump relay etc.

Here is the weird thing. I drove the car about 270 miles in the two days. I checked the mileage on the way home. Drove about 130 miles on state highways at 45 to 55/60 mph. Some stop and go but not much, no a/c windows down. Makes you realize how bad in interstate really is. The car got 32 mpg. I can hardly believe it. I checked the odometer against my gps over about 10 miles and the odometer was spot on.

The best I ever got in my 1990 760T was about 28.

Can a 240 get 32 mpg???
