poor gas mileage????

My last Benz was a butterscotch '79 300D. (Colnel Mustard affectionately) Anyway I remember getting around 30 mpg with that car. My '85 300SD gets almost 24mpg. Is this normal? I drive about 45 miles one way to work and I climb a decent size mountain. I know it will not get as good mileage as the non-turbo but I feel as though I should be near 30. Am I nuts?
the car runs great.
