I own a 1987 MB 560SEL with the 6.9 V8. It uses hi-test and gives me around 15-18 mpg traveling. It's got around 150k oin it. If I floor it, I can go from 50-90 in just a few seconds and merge with anything anywhere. It's big and people get out of the way when their RVM fills quickly.

It's my fourth Benz. I've owned all big ones. I also have a '90 TownCar for hauling Spot. (and 3- '87 300ZX's for toys).

Spot obviously rules. You get to drive him to exercise locations as I did. My 124 lb. GSD “owned” and customized my 91 ix - a pristine classic until he teethed in it for the second time while left alone in it for an hour or so. Shame on me.

Love MBZs - 78 300D first and still have the 87 300td - State of CA offered me $650 for it in writing. I did not respond.
