Mercedes-Benz Siaw Berut W116[edit]

In the last two days anons have been adding the following to the article: "Siaw Berut" (here and here). I am no expert on this subject, but I can't find reliable sources (e.g. academic) to support this change. If there are sources or arguments for this change, please, explain it and take charge. Thanks. Caballero/Historiador^⎌ 19:26, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What does that mean ?[edit]

The article includes the following sentence:

"One of the key advantages of the 300 SD is its exceptional fuel economy on track, where it burns just 2.5 GPH (Roughly 18MPG)."

What does that mean? Regarding fuel economy, I expect g/kWh, but what is GPH? the disambiguation page does not explain it. Also, what is "roughly 18MPG"? I recommend using g/kWh, kg/h, l/h or even l/100 km for fuel consumption or efficiency. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.183.56.221 (talk) 10:55, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Gallons per hour would be my guess. Mr Larrington (talk) 12:28, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"ridged lamp covers which kept dirt accumulation at bay"[edit]

It is my understanding that these ridges are to prevent snow build-up when parked. I am sure I have read it somewhere, probably one of my vehicle manuals. Yevad (talk) 20:23, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
