Questions for truckers...

[AB]

So I'm doing some research into whether I can use my Allstar fuel card in France (turns out not!) and came across this thread...

One of the posts refers to putting £1,200 of fuel into the tank. I was really surprised.

So... What's the max these artics can generally fit in? How many miles to a tank? What's the MPG?

I'm sure it's a varied answer but I'm intrigued.

Also, given they must have massive engines to pull the trailers, how fast are they without a trailer?

[AB]

Wow, single figure mpg! Is that at 56 mph or average?

So 0-60 sans trailer?

[AB]

0-56 then?

Thanks for all the informative answers!
