your tipper will be geared to haul weight, not cruise at 75/2500 rpm

the EGR valve is a cause of black smoke

I have a 2 L diesel medium wheelbase, semi high on a 51 plate. On a run through France into Spain last year (not on the autoroute) I got 605 miles on a single tank. The fill up was 67 L, I make it 40 point something to the gallon. This was on a mixture of normal roads and dual carriageways. The whole journey was 980 miles and took a day and a half. A friend of mine who was racing at the same place did the whole journey using the French autoroutes, it took a day and a half and 955 miles, the estimated 21 to the gallon and about £35 in toll charges. Mind you, he was using a Nissan pickup and drove with his foot firmly on the floor.

I tried today and failed i only got 581 miles and she was on fumes or that what the gage read cause when i filled her up to the brim i could only get 75 litres in the tank and my service book says its an 80 litre tank so i must of had a gallon left in , a quick calculation says im getting 35 MPG :D
