Default 500 miles......

I've got a 500 mile drive coming up to collect a car, how many tanks do we all reckon that will take? It's a 2002 STi.

Lol, cheers guys

It is a 500 mile one way trip, 95% motorway, no B roads sadly. I think with it being motorway and not in any rush I'll stay off boost and sit at 70.

Near std spec ?

26-28 mpg is achieveable, then watch the needle move as you boot it !

Great fun on the motorway. Enjoy
