Default Full tank

How much is a full tank costing these days and what range will I get mostly motorway? Did try searching but it didnt work.

Picking my S up wednesday FINALLY and drving all the way from Southampton to Manchester, possibly via Nottingham, 280 miles in total.

You really should be able to manage >300 miles on a tank full of super on the motorway. It depends if you whimp out and stop when the gauge says empty.
