List your best tank ever,,,,


So Far mine has been 427 but only on 4th Tank

 

473 miles with two bars remaining.

Calculated average was 38.1 mpg with an average speed of 72mph.

Pretty darn good for a MCS!

 

About half that. I LUV my throttle. Too much.

 

48x for me and i ended up putting in 13.5gallons

MCS manual

 

450 miles. Calculated by hand to be around 37.5 mpg.

Still yet to achieve that elusive 40mpg for an entire tank!

470 miles, still 4 bars left. I try to never go below 4 bars before a fill up. If I remember it was about 45 mpg on the obc, about 42 actual. Included a 200 mile highway run at amazing mpg.

 

My MCS never got anything better than 25-26 mpg in 13,000 miles of driving so far!

 

2006 R50 JustaCooper 450 mi

 

You must be having fun with your car then.

 

4000 miles on the car; haven't gone less than 450 miles on a tank yet. Even though I'm the one who usually fills it up, my wife is the primary driver. But I normally don't fill up until the tank is down to 1 red candy corn.

Best tank ever was 510 miles (just-a-Clubman manual)

 

22.8mpg is my best. I mostly drive city only.

I have only had the car a month. I guess I need to try harder.

 

god i cant wait for my mini to get here


just got 400mi to my tank....but its an F150...which was 22 gallons...

you have no idea how happy this thread makes me though!

 

510 miles

I'm at 480 today and the warning light just came on. I have the perfect commute for high mileage. Backish roads between 45 and 50 mph. Almost no Stop lights. I'm always on the 40 range because of that. I get around 35 mpg just bombing around.

 

401.5 miles. I suspect my wife was driving that one, I usually don't get that far even running the tank dry and I usually fill up when I get down to 2 petals.

 

holy crapp man.
you guys can get up to 500 frkn miles.
i can only get 369 tops
23 mpg is listed on the led screen.
:[

i mean 369 is GOOD, but it'd be super awesome if i can get it up past 400 mpg.

how do i increase my MPG?

 

most of us have R56... I see you have an 03... that explains why you're getting less miles per tank.

 

You S people can't take a hint, can you?? And this is the 2nd gen forum!!! That means...if I get the OP's drift...that we're talkin' R56 Coopers. Yes, plain ol, non mail-slot-in-the-bonnet, single exhaust tip Coopers...you know, the slow one. No whirring, or whining, or torque steering, or Ss anywhere in any of the badges. Not the help-I-keep-getting-tickets version or melted scoop version or I need more gauges version. Cooper....just Cooper...no S. Am I right, CG???

Why be such a curmudgeon, you may ask??? Well, it's simply an apples to apples thing...'tis unfair (and couter-informational) otherwise. So you MCS owners please sit on your hands and let us proper Cooper owners fess up on our mpg, okay??

Now....

My best tank was 43.2 mpg on the OBC in city driving....I figure that's got to be around 40 mpg calculated...and remember, that is city. I do little on the highway, but when I do the OBC just keeps climbing past 46 mpg. Don't know if it will go past that...I'll never do a full tank on the highway, most likely.

I do drive for economy as best I can. I coast and try to anticipate lights....although in city driving I have good days and bad days, that's just how it is. I also find it helps to not be first at the light , but to have at least one car in front of me. That way, I can get a smoother, easier-on-the-throttle start w/o worrying about the MCS behind me who can't wait to get to the next light.

I tease.....I tease.

 

521 with about 10 of those into the red. Lots of state back roads at 50-55mph and no hurry.

 

My 2003 got the same mileage the 07 and 08 get much better MPG

 

you read well.....: thumbsup:

 

The old JustACooper is the only MINI I've ever got a ticket in.

 

493 for me. 39.9 mpg on the obc. 39.4 hand calculated. not to shabby for an mcs. it was actually yesterday. all interstate.

 

How is it done?

I think you Google a hyper-miling site and scan the tips. It seems to be very gentle acceleration, anticipating lights and allowing car to gradually slow so you carry some speed through the obstacle, not going too fast, using hills to coast, and maintaining a constant footfeed pressure when going uphill and allowing the car to slow (as much as is safe or reasonable).

That's all I do. I also live in a pretty flat place--the Tennessee River valley near Huntsville, AL.

 

lol well at least im not the only one who gets less then 400 mpg.
but stil dude!
07's & 08's are owning gas stations.

 

LOL I am not a dude, woman here
