Mercedes say about 6% fuel economy related with bigger stroke and more sufisticated CRD injection. They compared 13L OM471 with 12L OM501. Not sure about DD15, becouse engine of the same output is OM502 V8, that was not used in US class 8 trucks. To compare with S60... it is less fuel erfficient comparing with OM460 (MBE4000).
anyway figures are aruond 30l/100 km.
But CRD engines are more "flexible" and easier to drive
2011 cascadia dd15 fuel mileage

lol i ran that without the cruise lol. i was harldy ever on flatland. they liked to keep me in the hills and mnts. i can prob count on one hand the loads i had that were under 60k... not many. as long as you know the additude the truck you have has, then you will be in sync in no time. lol i cant blame your trainer. i didnt let my students float. unless i seen them do it and it was smooth, no issues.
-
The word smooth and my trainer cannot be used in the same sentence. He tells me I'm too smooth I need to shift faster ( then we argue about the 400 rpm between gears)
-
well, you can be smooth and shift at the needed rpm...theres gotta be an issue somewhere if hes getting in to you. ive had students that i had to keep an eye on when they were shifting because i could either hear a problem or feel it.... and i make sure to corect it, beacuse they are not the ones paying my repair bills later...

i was not bad mouthing you...calm the heck down, dang.... im just saying. there has to be a reason he acts the way he does. i do have a clue so you need to get off your high horse rookie.
azcardnlz Thanks this. -
You have absolutely no idea. He blamed me for getting pulled in for a phase 2 inspection. He was running his mouth about how I must of acted suspicious the whole time during the inspection. So at the end I go to the dot officer " did I do something wrong to get pulled in here cuz this guy insists its my fault". Dot officer said its completely random and how many trucks are out here at 3 am to pull in..... That's what kind of "trainer" I'm dealing with
