Re: long long way
50 quid just about fills my tank from just above the red I was most surprised by how small it is,i've had my 87 iroc 5.0 for about 3 weeks now and i've got to say it seems quite good on fuel possibly hitting low 20's I'll know more after tommorow as I'm heading to santa pod for the flames and thunder from notts.

The size of a gallon is considerably larger in Her Majesty's kingdom than it is in the benighted states.

Re: long long way
Aye, them British fuel prices'll make ye shy away from guzzly cars...lol.
They don't know how cheap their fuel is here in USA. Appreciate it while it lasts...it's heading that way too. Although it will never get to the same price as UK...it's kinda funny watching people whining on the news about it.
Good luck with the journey home. You're gonna love the drive through the motherland in your 3rd gen.
All the best.
