Can anyone advise what mpg to expect from a 1975 Beford Duple Coach 36 ft with 7630cc diesel engine ? I am planning to take one to South of France for holiday . Would be hoping to be able to get 20mpg , the person selling the vehicle says it can do it , but I have experience of driving to Germany in a Land Rover with a heavy trailer and averaged 12mpg with careful driving so on this basis would not expect a 7.5T bus to do much better on a long run but maybe I am being too pessimistic ? Also can anybody advise what the approximate weight would be for the Bedford , I am being told that normal driving licence with C1 is OK but vehicle looks to me to be over 7.5T ? Is there any way to reduce the fuel consumption on this type of vehicle apart from slow acceleration and keeping to a steady speed ?
