Welcome to NAM.

Hmmmm, NC foothills. For those that think a car cannot smile, there is a line around 240 miles long that represents where the Appalachians go through the state, and yes my car smiles every time I head that way.

Curvy, hilly roads I have surplus of. I'm about 10 minutes from the parkway. It's pretty great. I recently went to Fl a few weeks ago and thought this would be no fun it being flat and all. I realized though that I'd just have to make it faster.

The silver one, which is the Mini Cooper S usually gets 27 to 31 MPGs
The blue Justa usually gets 35 to 44 MPGs.
Either you have it backwards, or something is wrong with both!


The silver is supercharged (I have owned several and none got 37MPGs)

The blue one is Naturally aspirated. (if this one is really getting only 24MPGs and if it has an automatic. The trans is most likely in trouble.)

I must have something wrong with both then. I dont have any power problems with the MCS. Just a little clutch slip in higher gears.

My apologies my math was incorrect and am getting 29 mpg. Sorry about that. And I checked the Justa and it gets about 28 on a good day. Their both seniors and the Justa hasnt been running at 100% and i cant figure what the problem is even after a tune up.

NOTHING TOO EXCITING! You have the perfect car and are surrounded by the perfect roads to drive it on. If that ain't exciting, I don't know what is.
