The highway between denver and LA is mountains and desert. I don't speed, I don't exseed the speed limits. (My wife says I drive like Mr. Daisy) I'm at that point in my life where I just like to take my time and cruise. So can we realistic figure between 16/18 mpg on the highway?

I have a Euro 280SL and my local Mercedes specialist shop obtained an original owners' manual for me from Mercedes themselves. Incidentally the Euro handbook covers the 500SL and the 380SL as well as the 280SL. Much of the book is common and where the differences are concerned, specialist sections are shown.The cost was around $40.00.

16-18 at high altitude? I kinda doubt it, in that car...you may achieve that on the downward jog from the westward side of the mountains to the coast, as soon as you go below 2500 feet or so. But climbing up and over---I'm dubious.
