Is that imperial or US gallons?
My average for 1st 6months of the year was 6.72mpg (imperial) I was running the speed limits then (up to 75mph & beyond, tut tut) Now I’ve gradually dropped my cruising speed down to 64mph, in 2mph increments each month, I wasn’t in a hurry on this particular trip so did 60mph & I managed 6.92mpg (US) with the miles we run & current fuel prices that’s worth about $15grand a year, I’ll be buying this shed when my residency is sorted so doubt I’ll be seeing the far side of 60mph anymore when I’m paying the fuel bills 
I’m a lttle skeptical of the 10mpg & above claims, are these worked out on miles driven/fuel added or from the dash computers? I haven’t driven any of the Euro4 or 5 motors, but my Euro 3 Stralis used to do 9mpg if I was fairly light & very gentle on the throttle, in an average situation, say loaded to gross 75% of the time I would say that mid to high 8s would be very good, especially with the traffic volumes in the UK, but I stand to be corrected.
what you driving 57 plate Merc Axor 1843 @ 210,000km
mpg return 11-12
auto/manual Manual
what work your doing Airfreight. Loads vary from 600kg to 8t
have you found it reliable Ish. It’s had 3(soon to be 4) drivebelt tensioner pulleys and 1 waterpump. It’s only stranded me once

looking at the floor speaking very quitely 7.79mpg on the up side the 2 drivers that drove it the weekend got it down to 7.75mpg.
in my defence it limited to a true 56mph and over takes “most” trucks on the road and i take in the a34 from m4 to the m40 in rush hour.
