It really is shocking how much fuel a tractor uses doing roadwork, I put 54 liters in, did a 21 mile journey, spent about 6 hours post knocking (very low fuel consumption activity) then did the 21 miles home, 54 liters gone. Probably looking at about 8 MPG!

 

The exact same figure as a Scania 440 with 12 tonnes of live chickens on.

One option is to keep the tractor weight down and exploit the dual purpose vehicle rules. The holder municipal tractors look ideal for this purpose with 40k capability.
