Just wondering how much petrol i can expect to use on the evening? i know there is petrol station as you drive through donnington so is it just best to fill up on the way and that will last ok? My fuel gauge has packed in today:( so need to get that sorted before the day!

Normally in my MGF I would anticipate maybe two hours of hard driving during a full track day. This would still only use a full tank, although the consumption would double dropping from a normal 34ish to around 16.

Thanks for the reply Dave, will ensure my tank is about 3/4 full. Managed to fix my fuel gauge today so thats no longer an issue:)
