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.

500 miles round trip? Or 500 there and 500 back?
If it's the first, 3 tanks.

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.
