Scania vs Volvo MPG's

Juddian:
The minor difference in fuel consumption between the two will pale into insignificance when something goes wrong with either.

Over the years i always got better fuel in Scanias than the equivalent Volvo but a more marked difference still when the Scani is driven manually, but found the Volvo’s to be a tougher more durable vehicle overall, swings and roundabouts.

eg Volvo 420 car transporters averaged about 6mpg, Scania420 roughly 7mpg, that was across the fleet.
Neither sound good but you have to remember there is lots of PTO operating time included there, and tare weights up around 22 tons, plus the job was bonus paid as in the amount of metal you shifted so flat out was the order of the day.

That’s a very good point Scania assistance are excellent I’ve heard Volvo are nowhere near in terms for customer service
