60 ton in Sweden and Finland. Big mountains in southern Europe I get 33-34L/100km, Volvo FH 12 560, and that is good, most others get 36-38.

but i think that 38L for his truck is too much

do you think 460?
also here we can have 40 liters/100km but only on mountains +
off highway ( toll here is very expensive and lots of people driving without )
but if you drive on a flat +hill turns out an average 30-32L
also we have 60 tons on 5axles
( Of course not legally) and there are some people that have 8x4-8x6-8x8 tippers with 2-3axle trailers who have 75-80tons
i know some people that haul asphalt on 8x4 trucks and have up to 54-55 tons

Those pictures are from northern Norway, very hard mountains and bad roads.
The Volvo I drive is chipped to 560, that's why it's better on fuel. On flats at 40 tons I get 29-30L/100km.
BTW, I have once transited Croatia from Hungary to Slovenia. -
Yeah alright thats why you all drive 35 mph then, we other who wants to work and not sightseeing thinks you all are a little bit in our way. And i for one would like to have a conventional because of the smoother ride and a big sleeper, and you get more mileage in a volvo vn670 as a FH with the same engine and driveline and much more comfort......
