Just hauled the CCV back from the depths of the Rendlesham forest to home 138 miles in total. I had filled my empty tank up on Wednesday, no issues. Had 3/4 tank left when I departed, and I did a gentle cruise back at 57mph. (just fast enough to stop the HGVs overtaking) and I surprised myself with 21mpg average fuel consumption for the trip. Some stations had huge queues, some didnt, some were closed - didnt seem to be any pattern.
Anyway found out where all the truckers are. They are all at Furuck services, the place is heaving with trucks, I mean everywhere - parked on the verges, double parked on the access roads, parked in the caravan bays, in the car park, with more queueing to get in. Never seen so many trucks in one place.
