Exclamation 380SE 1981. EURO. HIGH gasoline Consumption

Hello, I´m fron Spain. I Have got a MB 380SE 81 EURO. It consumption is about 20 litres/100Km. I think that the injection regulation is not correct. I would like to compare it with others persons. I´m sorry for my english, is not very good.
Thanks you very much.

2005 C55 AMG, 81 500SEL AMG 6.0 (only 100k kms on the clock) 83 300d (wifes car)
Hi oscar,

I have an 81 euro 500sel. I think I am getting between 15l per 100km and 25l per 100 km. It all depends on how hard I drive it. If I drive in town or around traffic I get 25l/100km. on the highway (130km/h) I get 15l per gallon. Tune, Engine timeing, and fuel quality can influance it.

Wink Consumption MB 380SE 81 EURO

Hello VonDeutchMB:
Thank you for your reply. I think that if you can get 15l per 100 km with a 500 sel, I could get less consumption with my SE380, about 13-14l per 100 km. I will test my car only on the highway driving at 130 km/h.
Can I feed my car with unleaded fuel? I always feed it with SUPER.

if its been sucking more fuel now then before, checking the timming chain/belt (not sure what those cars used). it is probably burning rich.
