Scania R470 Fuel Consumption

Blissy:
Can anyone body on here give me an idea what fuel consumption i can expect to get from a 2006 4 x 2 Scania R470…mostly motorway and dual carriage way work pulling a fridge trailer…im thinking of trading in my thirsty V8 580 for one :frowning:

y not change brand and look at Volvo or Daf ? Do you need 580 ? Do you need 480 ? If you think back to the days of 32 tonnes max , hauliers were running F88/F89 or Scania 140/141, HP WAS no where near 400, the max weight for a 4x2 has only gone up 8 to tonnes alright, so y dya need such a big motor ?

The Marketing of certain manufacturers has really worked on some… dont be sucked in.

try one on demo? surely …try before u buy and dont committ!!! u dont have to buy new do you to get one on demo, test it and then source a decent second hand one!

Oh how heavy is ya fridge? could make a difference…

My brother is running a 430 SSC Daf , at 38 tonnes, getting around 9/10 mpg

Gluck to ya now
