[Furniss]

Iveco 7.5t Hook loader and seem to average about 16 - I thought that was pretty bad but maybe not.

That new sprinter of mine only seems to be doing 350 miles to a tank, only sitting at 3T gross and more rest driving with cruise control on all the time. Not happy with it tbh!

 

[Jimoz]

Old 54 reg scudo always used to get around 550miles when I used to neck it. Would estimate 70l tank? Was always around a ton to neck it.
Last 6 months been getting by on about 50 quid a month most of work been at back of my place

 

[Mark]

After doing a bit of investing the sprinter only has a 65L tank

Cruise is often less economical as it is always trying to maintain a set speed, eg accelerating up hill, where as a decent driver may accept the slower speed.

 

[Mark]

It’s using minimal fuel on the level though, compared to what the throttle peddle would use.

 

[V8Druid]

pretty sure a decent driver could better a cruise, on fuel efficiency though Mark .... they do tend to be very lead footed on the slightest of inclines

I think the Add Blue tank often takes up some fuel tank space on these newer vehicles. My AdBlue Navara has a smaller tank than the non AdBlue ones due to this. And it sucks, Only getting 400ish miles to a tank. Old Nav used to go over 500 every time.

I think they also reduced the tank capacity to reduce the kerb weight of the navara, as it was a few kegs over when the first AdBlue models were introduced.
It’s a shame, because I think for what they are, they are fairly economical, but that tank capacity does make you think otherwise.
