My XC70 takes 70l and does 40mpg so the range is 615 miles in theory. It actually does more like 42/43 @ 60-70mph but thats too pedestrian

 

Most memorable was leaving the Bol D'Or 24 hr race @ 16:30 on a sunday afternoon and back up to Calais except we missed the turning and ended up going via Paris ( ) arrived Eurotunnel @ 02:30 but no trains running so we had to wait until 4:30 and eventually got home about 6:30 and scared the wife who hadn't been expecting me for another day LOL. About 750 miles all in on a GSXR750

Being a courier done a number of "road-trips" over time.
London to Glasgow & back in 10 hours (Granada Scorpio 4x4)
London to Strasbourg, Maastricht & back to London - left London 7pm and had delivered both packages by 08:00 the next morning
London to Edinburgh by Nottingham & Newcastle and back to London one Sunday. Took the woman who is now my wife, rang her up and said "Coming to Nottingham, fancy having a drink in Edinburgh this evening?" - such a romantic me!

 

St. Malo to Orange, about 1,000Km, several times in 3 different Scoobies. No problems. Done thousands of miles on French motorways & autoroutes, the only problems I've had is numb-bum-itis, a crow in through the lower grill @ 120MPH, and skid marks in my boxers from when a tyre on an HGV I was about to over-take delaminated, and the whole tread bounced OVER my car.

 

Think it's 550, did it a few years ago in my old Mazda 626. Try Google for directions, this should give the road mileage.

 

600 miles in a day, scoob never missed a beat. took over 2 tanks though

 

From 3 Trips to the Ring 543 miles, last time stopped at Dover All 3 scoobs never missed a Petrol station

A while back I had to go to a computer conference in Glasgow, drove up from Milton Keynes to Glasgow and then hopped over to Edingburugh for a night out... not doing that again.

 

1200miles took me 14hrs and it was from stutgart in germany to newcastle

 

Just remembering that for a silly "initiative test" that I once did, I hitch-hiked from Chichester to London to Glasgow via Liverpool then across to Edinburgh, Berwick-upon-tweed, Newcastle, Hexham & back down to London - took me just under 36 hours or so

Mad!

 

Once drove from Swansea to fishguard, pop on the Ferry, Drove from Rosslare right over to the west coast of Ireland, back to Rosslare and then up to Dublin.

San Remo, Italy to Bridgend, wales, 2001 in a daihatsu 4trak, used 7 tanks of fuel down (we used the air con constantly) but only 4 tanks home (no air con)
