I have no idea how you guys get 30+. Im a very spirited driver but you all claim to be as well. I have a theory that the auto tranny holds gears too long which hurts mileage over the manual tranny where I would shift much shorter and save gas. In sport mode the car almost never shifts out of 3rd. That high RPM auto tranny makes it really fun when driving for enjoyment, but for everyday action I think it hurts the mileage. I regret getting an auto but that was one of my wife's stipulations for me getting a new car...

 

@GitMoe
My guess is that a combination of Auto, S, and city/stop & go driving is why your MPG is low.

I based my MPG on what the OBC tells me.
Some people say the OBC calculation is optimistic and if you figure it manually your MPG will come out lower.
I prefer the optimistic reading.

 

2009 MCCS 6MT, sport button never on, stop-n-go, city traffic....

Fuel consumption tracked in iPhone app (Gas Cubby)

34K miles, 95 fill ups

26.7 mpg to 32.8 mpg
average: 29.7

OBC normally shows about 2 mpg higher than actual.

 

This is a good point. Are people posting the OBC mileage or are you calculating? Cause my 24mpg average is a calculation based on all the tanks since I bought the car back in November. The OBC adds at least 2mpg.

 

I don't use the OBC - I calc. manually (Miles / Gallons ). The OBC does add a few MPG to make you feel good

2008 clubman s with jcw tuning kit
47,000 km (29,000 miles)

In winter my mileage drops to 11 liters per 100km. (about 20 mpg) pure city, short trips.
In the summer I get 8.0 liters per 100km(28 mpg) or better pure city, and under 7.0 on the highway (about 35 mpg). This is all based on the obc.

When my wife drives it I lose 4 or 5mpg as she always forgets to shift. She'll cruise in 3rd while I would be using 4th or 5th

 

2009 manual Clubman S just turning 20K, 70% interstate, (retired Naval Aviator - flew RA-5C's & F-4's) averaging 35-36mpg on the OBC since I bought Fubbsy (matches 33-34 mpg actual.) Beats the mileage on my wife's Lexus boring sedan...though the Lexus is faster 0-60.
