If I remember, when we did the MacMillan 4x4 challenge I topped off gas and fuel tanks where we started in Hereford.
We then did just short of 1000 miles in two days. I emptied the gas tank, then ran on petrol. I remember filling the petrol tank again in the middle of South Wales somewhere then finding gas on the way up to Warrington for the finish. I then topped off on gas again before the short run back home to Macclesfield.
Didn't think that was too bad considering that a lot of those miles were spent blasting around Welsh forests in a blizzard!
