Ask Bri, he was on last year in a 2.0 zetec cabby. I would imagine it will be similar.

I would say fill the tank and take a jerry can as a spare

Last year i used one full tank and almost a quarter for the 2 days track and getting there and back

I'll be filling the tank this year and maybe a jerry can for spare as its pretty good on fuel

In my Evo I do approx 75 miles, and then it's time for another 50+ litres of juice.

I've seen between 4 and 7 mpg in this car and my old Cossie.

In the old Pug Mi16, nearer 150 IIRC - depends how much you thrash it! You should only need a tank and a jerry can per day tops.
