    about the same amount you would use by going full throttle from say 80-170 km/h in your 1:1 gear about 20 times.. (less wind resistance etc) - and also a bit of cruising around and say 1 hour worth of idling

    - if you're asking because you want to know how much fuel to go there with:

    go with a full tank of whatever fuel you usually run!! - also fill up a few days beforehand to let the fuel settle and 'age' in the tank - this way the tune will be done to suit the regular driving conditions of the car!
