Soviet Trucks That Literally Destroyed Fuel

The Soviet Union did not suffer from a shortage of gasoline, so diesel cars appeared there quite late. And not because they suddenly started saving fuel. It’s just that diesel models have higher traction. And passenger cars and even medium-tonnage trucks continued to make gasoline ones. Now, of course, it is not profitable to work on them. Unless you have them on a subsidiary farm for trips once a week, and even then, not far. And also cars with special equipment are still used. For drilling, for example. There, for the sake of a well, they tolerate gasoline "Urals", not to mention the ZIL-131.

And the author of the channel "AUTO HISTORY" decided to share his vision of the problem. In his selection, the KrAZ-255B is in last place. According to the standards, this truck should consume an average of 40 liters per 100 km. In fact, it was difficult to fit even these figures. And if the truck got off-road, then it "went" a liter per kilometer, and sometimes even more. In second place is the KAZ-606, better known as "Kolkhida". Its fuel consumption reached 50 liters per 100 km. Fortunately, no more, because this is a rear-wheel drive truck tractor, which is not suitable for harsh off-road conditions. And what other Soviet-made trucks amazed with their fuel consumption, you will find out for yourself by watching the video to the end.
