hmm difficult to say-i stopped counting as we kept filling up at random intervals. plus it would be too scary. i reckon a 3 tanks for the return journey plus petrol at the ring.  not cheap!

It is a tank and a half each way ........ Calais to The Ring.

Had a look at the vid .......... thought to myself gosh having been there the vids make so much more sense and I know exactly where I am and what is coming up ......... that lasted for 6 corners.
