As I have posted before, when trying to start a MINI 40+ mpg Club, on a justa 07 Coupe, 6 speed, non-S, no Sport button, I have a lifetime average (per a spread sheet I keep) of 40.65 miles per gallon, actual mileage calculated at the pump. On board computer will generally read about 3mpg higher than I actually get, and I use that only as a trend of how I m doing each tank.

For whatever reason, the sooner I fill up (ie, 3 lights left on the fuel gauge rather than 1), I get better MPG. If I get over like 535 miles on a tank, I am guaranteed a slightly lower MPG. Usually I fill up in the 425 mile range, plus I am a sucker for Gas Station snacks anyway....

40+ mpg club how do we go about doing that?

gas station snacks yumm.

 

I am getting 33 mpg currently. 80% urban / downtown and 20% highway. Compared to the 17 mpg, my SUV was getting, I am LOVING this!!

 

09 JCW 60/40 hwy/city 31-33 consistent.

 

Last time I filled up I averaged 28 mpg. I usually get 26 mpg. I have an 06 MCS and I dont drive it like a granny.

 

I switched from a 2008 Justa w/ manual to a 2010 Justa w/auto and saw my mileage drop from an average of 37-39 mpg to 30-32. How come?

 

Just got back from driving in the bluffs around the Mississippi River in the Drift less area of Wisconsin (lots of hills and curves) No Granny driving allowed! 32.8 mpg.

 

2009 Mini Cooper S. CVT, mainly automoatic mode. Average 33.1 mpg.

As a rule, automatics will get less mpg's than manuals due to the losses (slippage) in the automatic's torque convertor. 30-32 mpg is kind of on the low side for a Justa - you might want to do the usual check-ups for things that cause bad mileage.

 

30MPG in City/freeway stop and go driving hard. Can get 35 on the highway running fast. Plenty of mileage for the performance.

 

2007 MCS 6MT and 93 octane. 34.8 MPG per onboard computer over the last 3k miles. 50/50 hwy and city driving.

 

MCS manual; get around 27-28 normally. This is 80% city driving.

 

Just had a 36.5 hand calc 300 miles trip on the new low rolling resistance tires in my sig. Previous trips 33 MPG.

There is something to these LRR tires - can't wait for the Toyo's to wear out on my diesel truck, and try some light truck Michelin LRR's on it.........

 

Man highway driving is where it's at for MPG's... I just did a 150 trip in my "Justa" with heavy 17's running 215/45's and got 41 mpg average.

Lovin my MINI!

 

+1!!

I bought the 05 MCS as a commuter car because I get about 13/14mpg in my Tahoe. The onboard computer of the mini said 30.2 when I got it, and now after the CAI and exhaust mods it says 27.3. I'm sure "taking the long way home" and showing everyone my new exhaust note isn't helping matters. Plus, I never reset the computer after the CAI, so perhaps that's something I should take care of.

As long as I keep it above 26 mpg I'll be okay with it.

 

I have an 04MCS, and i am getting about the same

 

I am averaging 26.8 over 4 months of driving. Lots of stop and go traffic and a few long road trips.
