I get only 226 per tank, with No sport button. Driving in traffic all day long NYC, Queens, bklyn.

 

I did manage to get 375 on my last fill up on a trip to VA, averaged 27.5 mpg the whole trip.

 

Just returned from a trip from Minneapolis to Chicago and back.

On the 1st tank, went 394 miles (filled 12.11 gallons). 32.6 MPG.
On the 2nd tank, went 374 miles (filled 11.06 gallons). 33.8 MPG.

 

Drove from Richmond VA to Ottawa for canada day and only had to fill once. First tank got us 445 miles. I wanted to get 450 but wasnt sure when the next gas station would show up.

 

I am on vacation this week and it's one of my first longer highway trips and we averaged 32.2 mpg! I was surprised and delighted. I should be able to go home on the same tank as we drove up on. $38 in gas for vacation, Check!

 

Just wondering if the 32.2 mpg was reported by your computer or hand calculated from receipts???

Thanks,

 

I check my mpg every fill-up and I have been averaging 31.8 to 32.5 mpg on my "2007" copper "S" (stick shift) driving highway and city combined. Daily run to work is 64 miles round trip plus add a few extra miles for running around town at lunch. I always calculate my mpg with receipts and then compare with the computer and I am right there.

That's interesting, I have saved every receipt so far (and written down mileage and trip odometer readings too) but I didn't think to zero out the computer average MPG to check that as well...

I also don't have my values stored anywhere yet, just on a receipt. I'll have to start trying out a spreadsheet.

 

What speeds are you guys averaging on the highway and in the city.. I'm usually going 78 (if I'm just cruising, otherwise around 80-85) on the highway and anywhere from 35-60 (45-50 avg) in the city, depending on the road of course. Speed plays a big part in gas mileage as well.
For those of you without your car in your sig, what model(s) are you driving to achieve these figures?

 

A poster on another thread reminded me of an iPhone app named Gas Cubby. I recently download the free version (with tolerable ads) and have started using it. Easy Peesy. It can track many things associated with vehicle costs.

If you have an Android-based phone, a friend recommends Mileage. I haven't used the app so I can't comment on it beyond the single recommendation, however.

 

There's one called Road Trip that's AWESOME and I don't think the free version had any ads. I eventually upgraded to the paid version so i coudl export my data to Fuelly.com.

 

Well I check mine last week and this was the results, (combined city/highway) 380 miles and still had 58 left in tank. I also checked the mileage the old fashion way by calculating gallons / mileage, the mpg was 31.7 mpg not much of a difference.

 

Good job on the mpg! We just did nine states in five days and averaged 31 mpg. The best I have gotten was 33.4 mpg. I took delivery at the end of May with 17 miles and we are over 6700 now. It's an amazing car!

 

Just drove our very full (4 people, loaded cargo area, and a crammed ski box on the roof) Countryman ALL4 from Calgary, AB to Kelowna, BC and the trip odometer read 600 KM and computer estimated an additional 40 KM until empty.

640 KM = 397.7 mi.

The computer also estimated the consumption to be 7.2L/100KM which is the equivalent of about 33 MPG.

 

I noticed that Mark mentioned that he couldn't set the cruise control b/c he is breaking his mini in. Is there a rule about not using cruise during break in time? Just got a new '11 and don't want to do anything to mess things up.

 

It's not actually the use of the cruise control that is advised against, it's keeping the engine at the same rpm for an extended amount of time. I've always used the cruise during a car's run-in period, I just vary the speed +/- 5 mph every 10 minutes or so.

 

Thanks Theo! All this is new to me, but that's why I'm here. You guys seem to know everything about these unique little auto's. I, for one, appreciate any info made available by you guys.
