So what are you guys averaging on MPGs with your 07 Mini? Do you drive mostly city or highways?

 

There are other threads on this of course. I have 3000 miles on mine, mostly in town. Based on calculations (not the OBC, which is off by 1-2mpg) I get 31mpg town, 37mpg highway.

 

This has been much discussed here,

I found mine went up a lot through the breakin period. I'm MC(base) automatic, mixed driving plus traffic, and somewhere in the low 30s. There is a small bump in the official mpg from the older models to the 07 (I gather from your siggy you're making that decision?)

 

Thanks for the link. I will look into that thread. To answer your question, I am debating between the 1st and 2nd gen to see which one I will benefit more from in the long-run.

 

Good luck with the decision! There's lots of threads on the comparison too(some more polemic than others). They're both great cars, very similar but different. Try to drive both, and depending on how long you plan to keep it, upkeep could be the main difference (older car vs. new model).

 

Right now I am getting 34mpg mixed driving on my MCa, 900miles on the clock

 

2007 mcs 30mpg in mixed city and highway driving with 4000 miles.

 

2007 MCS 30MPG in city and 36 MPG on highway...approx 7000 miles

 

My MC manual about 37-39 mixed driving my calculation. OBC is about 2 mpg high.

 

2007 MCS, 4000 miles 31 mixed. i actually cleared the computer once and got 44 MPG on a 15 mile freeway trip at 65MPH with the windows open. This car sips fuel.

 

That's impressive, I've gotten 37 average on my daily morning commute and do about 33.5 in the mixed driving. I've got just over 2700 miles on her so far.
