2016 f55 avg 16mpg
I Purchased this car preowned a few months ago and I do not drive too much, I never paid mind to MPG. About a week ago, I looked through the trip computer and saw that I was averaging 18MPG so I reset the computer and did my daily city driving to see what would happen. In sport mode (my go to) I am averaging 15MPG. In "normal" I can get as good as 18-20MPG and in "green" the best I've seen is 23MPG. The car drives great, no apparent misfire and only has 20k miles. Air filter was replaced and made no change, any thoughts before taking to dealer?
Car has salvaged title so dealer visit is not ideal as there is no warranty but this mileage cannot be normal.

Salvage was due to a front end collision, also having issues with horn randomly going off when turning the steering wheel but that is a project for another day, have it disconnected for now. Comparing with a friend with a JCW, he is getting about 40 miles more per tank than me but I will do the manual calculations to see how she is doing. Definitely feel like I am filling this car up significantly more than my previous car (‘15 GTI with minor mods) but then again I know that the mini’s tank is slightly smaller
besides the horn and mileage issues, I absolutely love this car and I can’t blame the car much considering what the poor girl has been through
