What realistic MPG are you guys seeing on your R56 Cooper S's? I am talking non-granny driving city and then highway.

Thanks,
k

 

I"m getting 30 - 31 and I'll admit that at times I do have a bit of a lead foot so I'm happy about my milage! I don't do a lot of highway driving.

 

about 32 mpg city/hwy

 

30 around town, 36-38 highway.

 

City: 30, Hwy: 36

 

Very nice. Is your computer actually on target or is it a little enthusiastic like the R53 computer? I find my R53 is off by about 1 or 2 mpg usually.

 

34-36 mixed city/highway.

38-42 highway only.

 

32 average. Shifting at 4K with occasional splurges to 5500.

 

I have seen as low as 21-22 mpg for city driving!

 

32 in a 50/50 mix of city/highway with a pretty heavy right foot.

 

i've gotten ~35mpg 95% highway while driving +12 the limit on I5. 08 MCS manual.

100% city (i have a terrible short commute with lot of stopped time, damn trains!) I've gotten as bad as 27MPG

 

aboot 32 mpg.

Just passed 1400 miles, so I expect a decline in mpg coming soon

 

About 32, according to the OBC, 40%/60% city/country driving.

 

I average a touch over 32mpg mixed city and highway. I do not usually drive with fuel economy in mind . OBC usually tells me I'm doing 1mpg better than that.

 

It's off by a few mpg

 

I'm primarily driving in the city and getting about 26mpg. I've been driving in sport mode. Since my last fill up I've been keeping the sport mode off to see if I get better gas milage. I've only got 600+ miles on the car so gas milage should improve as it breaks in.

 

30-31 in the city and


on the highway.

 

Between the Wifes conservitive driving style and my Yee ha style 30 MPG combined.

 

On a recent 1,070 mile interstate trip we averaged 39.5 mpg, all hiway miles at speed limit with very little freeway. Weekly commute averages 35 to 37 mpg. This is on a 07 MCSa. OBC is fairly accurate.

 

30 mpg combined, driven hard.

 

30 with city\highway mix driven moderately.
26 when driving like a nut :-)

 

33 here

 

For my first 1500 miles I am averaging 34.5 mpg. The 34.5 avg. is calculated at the pump, not OBC. OBC tends to be a mile or two higher. My average speed for these 1500 miles is 46.6 mph.

 

32 JCW stage 1

 

After 3,000 miles of 80/20 Highway/City driving I have averaged a consistent 37 miles per gallon @ 93 octane in my MCS. I'm fairly conservative on the straight and flats, moderate starts and 5-8 over posted speed limit, but I turn it loose on the curvy roads! My computer matches manual calculations on mgp.
