evening all,right ime off to newquay next week its about 340 mile from where i live,basically would my motor a phase1 172 do it on a full tank,also anybody from newquay or nearby know where the nearest shell garage is so i can fill up with optimax to come back home.

cheers steve.

If youre sensible you should have no problem doing that on a full tank. I averaged 48mpg from Brum to Dover.
