Mommoth!! What a great place to enjoy California and ski. Wow!!

An amazing place to ski, jumping off into those deep bowls on Cornice or Climax.
Then onto the hot-springs for a dip. It doesn't get much better!!

And you better have the sun lotion on or else.
Cheers to Mammoth and CA-200 for bringing back great memories. Derek

Here's my first post, I´ll start by introducing my B200 CDI (Euro Ver).

Welcome to our merry group Way@Out,

That is one very pretty B in your pics.
Cheers, Derek

Judging from your map, one of us is lost!!

Nice! what is the overall fuel consumption?

Way@Out · 02-13-2008, 12:56 AM

It has done as little as 6.2 but it's usually 7.4 to 7.8 Athough when I´m in a hurry it will guzzle 9.4 The fuel consumption isn't great but when I bought it diesel was 0.40€ cheaper than gasoline. Now a days it's only about 0.15€ cheaper

Wow, you must drive fast! My B 200 gasoline is averaging 7.6 (see the fuel consumption records by clicking on my signature).

Mike,
What would you expect to see in fuel consumption between the B 200 CDI and the B 200 with the same type of driving?

Should they almost be the same even with the greater torque of the CDI ? Derek

Before buying the B200 I owned an Audi A4 1.9 TDI (130hp), the fuel consumption was rarely below 8/100km. My W204 which is a 2.2 litre CDI is about the same with 170hp. An economic car would be the VW Polo 1.4 TDI (3 cil) averages about 5/100km.

The area I live in has a lot of steep hills, I don't think what I save going down hill compensates what I burn to go up. Plus I regularly drive a little fast since I live in the country side and there are no radars or cameras.

Hey guys, I've just merged an older gallery thread that was brought to my attention by jtcb, so that's why there are a bunch of older posts at the beginning. But check them out, there's some pretty cool cars in here!

Cheers,
Chris

Thanks Chris, That's exactly what we wanted. Both Galleries as one.
