I do Aberdeen from London. Some 540 miles using M40 M6.

And M74 M8 A90 (I think...) Aberdeen is bad enough from here but then
that for a single days work.

If I went on to Inverness - which I have done once, then the 600
mile range is relevant.

Wonder how many filling stations you pass on your route? ;-)

Once North of the central belt probably not that many. If there
wasn't a petrol station in the town the nearest to here would be
Hexham at just over 20 miles. Both are 2 or 3p/l more than better
served areas.

One has to think about fuel you could use the best part of two
gallons just "nipping out to fill up". If the local station is
closed. B-)
