Just did my first tank on my newly fixed odometer. Down to Toronto for the
Boat Show, I went 398 miles (beep!) on 71.9 litres of regular. Do your own
math for whatever sized gallons you are used to. 22 for the wee ones, 25
for a Queen sized gallon   :) I was pleasantly surprised.

75-80 mph, a few stops, (damn passengers spoil all the fun) and then 40
minutes of stop and go on the way out on the DVP.
