Scania R470 Fuel Consumption

pursy:
Talking to a few operators that have run both 420 and 470 12litre engines they find the 470s a lot heavier on fuel,in fact folklore has it that a chipped 420 is the way to go.

couldnt agree more… i drive a 420 chipped to 500 and it pulls like a train and returns very good mpg… on a hill it leaves R480’s for dust…every week its over 9mpg … 9 ton to felix from midlands and 25 ton reefer back to midlands … 9.88mpg… at most she only ever goes down half a gear… walkermovements.co.uk/spec_s … nitID=4737 … seems like a good truck… have it mapped u got ur power ur after plus great economy :sunglasses: :smiley:
