Hi there can any of you guys tell me that are running their trucks on rural roads 90% of the time get on mpg , as most of our work is and we are averaging 6.8mpg on a mixed fleet at 40 ton and less I sometimes think there is better to be had , although it’s nice to see guys posting 9 /10 /11 mpg I’m sure a lot of motorway running is involved , I’m looking an opinion on work similar to mine .
57 plate FH 480, can just about keep it in the 7s, bathtub bulker, empty 15t one way 44t on the way back, very hilly a + b roads, villages etc, motorway for 1 junction
