In real life fuel consumption is much more complicated,it also depends on the type and number of tyres as well as the shape of the trailer, type of asphalt,even the elevation plays a role since air is of different density in different places. The game uses a more simple method but if you want an accurate choice of gearbox and diffs I would recommend you to go to the website of the truck brand you want to get in game and just configure a truck. The Scania configurator asks you for what will you use the truck as well as what type of roads you travel the most.All in all its going to give you an accurate specification of what kind of truck you actually need.
@Myquandro Your consumption is on point, great job. :D

Yeah, in reality I would have to know tens, if not over a hindered parameters to get a fairly accurate fuel consumption figure and thus the best determination for gearbox, engine pairing.

I get 38-39 with the scania drivetrain mod with the 770hp and 12+2 speed transmission with a 3.08 differential
Take it with a grain of salt nothing is 100% sure

With Volvo FH 2012 750 hp and Allison 6 speed, it barley averages anything less than 38 litres / 100 km, even with pretty relaxed driving, never surpassing the speed limit or overtaking, and with shifts at max 1500 rpm.

I have a 770s with a 12+2 speed with a 3.80 diff and with normal driving and generally heavy loads I manage a bit more than 40 liters. In my defense I drive in Heilbronn which is a 1:1 scale and its not all highway driving but also slower roads.
@Andrei_JZX100 Thats not an usual pair but if it works for you then great,the fuel economy isnt bad either.

Also I would like to ask you guys for a good engine and transmission spec for a rigid truck, I would like a secondary truck thats going to be a bit easier to drive around the city.

@Viktor427 I know, it's quite a weird combo of truck/engine/transmission. I just bought it out of curiosity, to see how it drives :lol: It's very fast, you have to be careful because it's very easy to surpass the speed limit and to do dumb things. At the moment I drive a Scania Next gen, it surpassed my expectations by a long shot and I love the way it looks (fyi I used to hate the design of the new Scanias back in the day when they came out hahaha).

As for a rigid truck to drive around the city. I'd take a Renault Premium with the 400 hp engine and maybe a 6 speed, if you are not planning to haul anything too heavy. Else, I'd recommend a 12 speed.

@Andrei_JZX100 I used to not like the Next Gen too but it has grown on me a lot. Rigid vise I tried using a Scania g cab but the mod interferes with the S so I had to give up, as for old Renaluts, i was never a fan but the T range really surprised me so hopefully there is a mod for that.

Yeah the main problem with the Premium is that the model itself is very obsolete.

Scania S450, GRSO926, 25.9L/100 Km. All time best was 25.4L/100 Km, although it's only done 16.000 kilometres. I've got headquarters in Tallinn, mainly long distance haulage.

Edit: 24.9L/100 Km now, with 20.500 Km on the clock :lol:

My average at the end of this 364 km trip : 28.2 l/100 km(8.34 mpg). Scania 590S with G33CMR/2.92 differential gearbox and 4x2 chassis.
Trailer is 40 ft Schmitz S.CF container trailer with 3 axles. The trip was mostly highway driving.

Is it a good average, considering that it's a V8 engine, and trailer was loaded at 24 tons? There was some down and uphills during the trip.
Truck was revving at 1200 rpm @ 80 km/h. Adaptive transmission was on normal mode.
