190e MPG 1.8 Vs 2.0?

[DSM10000]

I am over analysing, my partner assures me that I am autistic as well as a pita

It's called a spectrum for a reason, there is a place for all of us on it somewhere!,

It will be immaterial; you're driving style and how the vehicles are maintained will have more impact.

If you were asking whether there would be much difference in mpg between a 2.0 diesel and a 6.0 litre V12 then it would be a very clear 'yes'. 190s are old cars now, buy on condition.

I'm looking for a fairly short, good quality 4 door saloon. Over engineered and reasonable to maintain. Factory rather than dealer fit aircon. No sunroof. Prefer auto but not vital. Power steering. If 190 then EFI or diesel with duplex cam chain. No rust. Oriented towards fuel economy rather than speed. Colour suited to muddy rural life, definitely not black. I ask a lot but will get there!

That makes so much sense. So why do I want to spend the same money on this imported 190?! https://www.gumtree.com/p/mercedes-...p/mercedes-benz/mercedes-benz-190e/1482752248

That would be a head rather than a heart purchase. It's certainly an awful lot of car for the money, and will be much nicer to drive than any 190E, though the DPF might suffer with many short runs. It would be my head choice, though I'd have to put up with the gloomy cabin and the uninspiring (modern...) interior; I don't like the stuck-on iPad look at all) but:

You may well be right and I appreciate the suggestion. Will look into it but I am weird and rather like old school.

So am I, and so do I. Michael, good luck with finding the one you want.
