    Could anyone give me a ballpark figure for fuel consumption for this car ? I
    just got it with 74,000 on the clock, it's a 1991 model with full service
    history. It's to replace my old '85 740 estate which has a 2.3 engine and a
    M46 with O/D which does about 34 mpg. The '91 Auto does about 25 mpg, and
    I'm just wondering if I can improve it. I've only done 2 tanks of fuel so
    far in it and noticed the front brakes bind, and the steering was pulling to
    the left. Both will be fixed this weekend, but I will also clean out the TB
    and check timing, plugs, air filter, tyre pressures etc. The fluid levels
    are ok in the engine and gearbox. Boy, it is a complicated procedure to
    check the automatic box fluid level !!!!
