Mind you, they have some that average 4, and we shall see how it does with winter fuel. Bet that drops off then.
I could never get anyone over here to admit that but I’m sure it happens over here. The week we go onto winter fuel the economy drops
Alvis Stalwart, 4mpg on petrol!
The worst I’ve had by far was an F16 Volvo, I had it down in the 3’s I had a limiter fitted to it before I had to and had it set at 90kms rather than 60mph, it was a little better, but still needed a tailwind to break 7mpg.
The best, a 124 400 Scania, I was running just under 40t out and backloading at 32t, UK only and that averaged just over 9mpg week in week out
fh 440 08 on hiab work 7.2mpg, average since new.
The 3 “permanent trucks” I’ve had"-all 6 wheel tippers

S-reg Foden 4000 series Cat 340 7.5mpg (8 speed crash box)

Volvo fm 460 always loaded (empty modules outbound gross weight 24480kg,fully loaded gross weight 40500kg) getting av 9 mpg,boss seems happy so must be better than our MAN’s tga 440
Depends on how you drive. At one place, me and another bloke used to do a night trunk to west London - identical route, identical load and trucks (you got what was there and usually not the same truck two nights in a row). We set off at the same time. He bombed off, racing up to everything and braking hard and taking it up near the limiter on every gearchange. I drove in the green and rolled up to stuff, trying to time it so I didn’t need to stop. Difference in journey time from Hull to London was 5 minutes. On the monthly performance charts he got 7MPG and I got 9. I was using 40 litres a night less.
