scania for me was the perfect driveing possition
Do you like sitting on the bottom bunk then?
SpanishDriver…admittedly I don’t run to the max, probably gross 35t and the figures/software might be ‘slightly inaccurate’ shall we say…time will tell if it improves as it’s still a bit ‘tight’, only got just over 2000 km on it up until last night
I’m getting almost 10mpg doing multi drop in Ayrshire. I usually run quite light but still quite impressive IMO.

Trunking with one of our’s with 200,000 clicks on the clock, I was getting 10.8 mpg at 38 tonnes.
All of our work is trunking BB so maybe the figures aren’t to far out then. Does the display/software recognise who’s driving (by way of the digi card) or are the figures a ‘one for all’ thing? And this is what to look out for at night, as you know I’m sat at 53!! Don’t think the rear flap will make it past a couple of months though, can’t go over the top of bananas now with the under-run in fear of dragging it off…extra shunts required at certain depots!

Just as a bit of an update… ALL the drivers are suffering from back ache! Something is not quite right on these small cab things concerning the driving position…sit comfortably and you seem to be stretching for the pedals/steering wheel (not enough height/tilt available), set yourself nearer to the pedals and you have to tilt the steering forward, which for those of us around 6’ 1" leaves it rather flat, like the old DAF’s of years gone by! Did I say the seat cushion is hard? Don’t think any of us lazy ■■■■■■■■■■■ on 5-6hr night shifts could do a manly 10-12hr day!! 
but the gaffer is happy with the MPG, so all is well!

Wow really good even with light cargo [emoji3]
@Spanishdriver…getting better but think that might be about its limit!

Was on 30,262km last night when I parked it up. 11.5-11.8 is easily reachable now for me but the day drivers might be hitting higher as they do 3 times the mileage and 95% on motorways…if I see one, I’ll ask him!
