hey guys,

with my 1982 mercedes i have L (first gear), S (second gear) and Drive.

I use the second gear when tackling steep hills which gives the engine a bit more power, rather than struggling in drive.

I was wondering if using this gear at freeway speeds (100km/h) if it would use up more fuel, or would it turn out more economical?

any input appreciated, also if you could share your economy of your 230E 1982 models.

thanks
