<< < (2/3) > >>

bogie:
series 3 box with an overdrive im getting 45mpg around the 60 mark.top end  of mine at mo is 115mph,but im on my 6th box and looking 4 a new overdrive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   rangy axles also help!

ian_s:
last time i did long run in mine (slightly knackered 200tdi, rangey diffs, 235*85 tyres) i got about 32mpg, and that was keeping up with motorway traffic on the M1/m25. i was also quite heavily laden down with tools. i'm guessing with a truck cab you wont be carrying a lot in the back all the time, so you could possibly get 35 mpg crusing at more sensible speeds

the best i ever got was well over 35, but that was when my engine was running well and i was cruising in convey with another car towing a trailer so we only did 50mph

an overdrive would help a lot more, and its on my list of things to get :)

bigant:
transit engine in mine does an easy 44 mpg :)

a truck cab wont be the most fuel efficient - due to the vortex created in the load bed - fit a hardtop this will 'improve' the aerodynamics slightly (yes I know its a series but every little bit helps)
