300CDT or 300CD
I have newer drove a 300CD non turbo, can some one tell me if a non turbo version gets more MPG or not?
I have a chose for a daily driver, my goal is get more MPG not performance.
Unfortunately there are no 4spd 300CD's in US that i know of. Other wise a choice would be obvious.
Thanks.

There is no such thing as a 300CDT, its a 300CD. The year determines if its turbo or not.
The turbo will get better economy. The turbo increases its efficiency and the taller rear end ratio means lower RPM on the highway.
