AWhile individual rates of fuel consumption
must partly depend upon both the local terrain and type of operation the following findings based on a road test should be of some guidance.
When fully laden at up to 40 mph on a gently undulating trunk route this vehicle gave 11.7 mpg and a motorway test gave 9.9 mpg. When empty the corresponding figures were 14.7 mpg and 10.1 mpg.
However, on the trunk-road runs there were no stops due to traffic or other reasons--so on normal operation one would expect a higher rate of consumption. When running unladen for half the time an overall consumption between 10.5 and 11.5 mpg could be expected.
