37 Mpg

Went to Baton Rouge to the LSU game last Saturday in my Dad's MC and He got 37 MPG on that tank. Three quarters of the tank were highway miles and the other quarter was city, this included sitting in a traffic jam on the Basin Bridge for over an hour.

Wow! How old is your dad's MC then? That's promising!

It is a 2006 Mini Cooper with a little over 5000 miles on it. He picked it up the middle of June. He calculated his mileage the old fashion way, miles travel/gallons used=MPG, not the onboard computer.

Well, my mileage seems to be going up 1mpg each fill up, lol... It was 26mpg the first tank, 27mpg, the second, and 28mpg the third... I hope it continues since I have been doing at least 20-30% highway, but I guess mostly city... It think I do a lot of short trips and stop and go and that's why mine is kinda low...

I'm at 988 miles in just over a month... what about you guys?!

I've driven a lot more in a shorter time. Mine is 1 month tomorrow, and I've driven 1800 miles so far. I was so excited. Two days ago, I had my 4th fill-up and had a 30.6mpg. The other tanks were between 27 and 29.

Hey everyone,

Well, I just got my welcome package today in the mail, and also got my spy toggle switches too! Anyone else got their packet yet?

It is a pretty nifty little bundle, and this is the first time I have ever gotten anything from a car company other than a car note, haha...
