I have a V8. I fill up before the drive.
If the weather is nice some of my friends with Italian V12 cars will be out and they dont have issue.
We have done about 450+km in the Muskoka drive with only 1 fill up.

I don't hand out maps until morning of drive. I keep the drive details out of forum as some forums are watched by authorities.
A few friends with exotics will be out if the weather holds out.
You will notice the start point is in Mississauga and the whole route above is about 150km. So we will be around the North West GTA.
End point is Milton area.
Please note this is a cruise in and around GTA roads. This is not a race and I do not condone this. No burnouts, fishtails and wreckless driving.
There are sections for spirited driving for sure, specially in some of the windy and roller coaster roads in and around the GTA.
If you have done the "Forks' then that is about the same type of roads we plan to drive. If you havent been to the Forks it will be a treat.

The admin stuff on morning of the drive:
- Detailed Google maps are only provided at start point including all turns
- A quick walk through of maps and direction at start point
- The map will have some addresses or weypoints so that if you get lost, those points will stir you back
- If you are lost and do not have a passenger to help with navigation ... roll down your window and wave the car behind to go ahead. Don't lead the people behind you if your blind
- Keep a mental note which car was ahead of you
- Excercise Responsible judgement on safety and traffic rules and regulations. This is a cruise not a race.
- All drives usually start ON TIME. So show up 15-30 mins before start time
- Fill up with gas BEFORE every drive
- Suggest to bring a GPS
- Please excercise responsible driving. Please let me know if anyone in the group does burn outs, fishtails, drifting, driving on the shoulder.
- bring your FRS walkies if you own one
- ask for the leaders phone number

Looking forward to it!
Any "good" gas stations near the start point with 94 or v-power 91?
And is anyone bringing their significant others? I was contemplating letting the gf ride along but then I figured she'd probably get bored at the start/endpoints listening to us talk about our cars

Lots of other folks bring their significant others or kids.
Sometimes my wife drives the route...you'll learn later in life why thats important
Most people will come for 9:30am. I call everyone together for 9:55am and go over the details of the drive.
We drive out at 10am sharp.
Theres really not much time in the beginning to get bored. The drive in between is fun and great scenery.
I'll let people know where the gas stations are in another post.

Please fill up with your favorite gas prior to the drive.
The closest Shell is a Renforth and Rathburn which is far away from the meeting place.
Just west of the meeting place is a Petro which does have Ultra 94.
