Roy Larkin Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 We wish you could have been there too. We are all becoming very popular at the moment! The Crossley looked splendid with the wreaths on your wonderful trailer. Cambridgeshire is pretty flat, Doug, so we could happily cruise at 12-15mph. Probably achieving 5mpg or so. Steve 5mpg sounds about right. Most companies during the war are recording 4.5/5mpg on average with a few up to 6mpg on very light work. Interestingly, one company I looked at which provided more detail than most showed that there was a gradual decline to 3.5mpg as the lorry got more and more worn out. Once overhauled it returned to 4.5mpg and over the following few months gradually slipped back to 3.5 before being overhauled again and returning to 4.5mpg.
