i went to hull on friday from gateshead spent most of the time doing 60-70 ,booted it a couple of times went through 3/4 of a tank getting there which is 140mile (2,1/2hours)door to door so thats about £40ish ,

fancied going the scenic route on the way back a1079-a19 think its a few mile shorter but used more or less the same fuel if not a little more.........so id say the range of a full tank for me would be about 200-180mile .....................and it never missed a beat the whole way

suppose if i did 60 all the way id of got about 220 ish to a tank
