The fill up was 67 L, I make it 40 point something to the gallon. This was on a mixture of normal roads and dual carriageways. The whole journey was 980 miles and took a day and a half. A friend of mine who was racing at the same place did the whole journey using the French autoroutes, it took a day and a half and 955 miles, the estimated 21 to the gallon and about £35 in toll charges. Mind you, he was using a Nissan pickup and drove with his foot firmly on the floor.
