Your range depends on your penchant for "leadfootedness".
but I have gone nearly 400 miles on a long highway trip before I felt the need to fill up the tank.I beleive you need to take the car to a MINI dealer specifically.

Had a short drive in my car this afternoon, managed to briefly get it up to 60mph (let's just say it WASN'T a highway!), for "scientific purposes".
Edge's findings (approximate):
2005 MCS (manual trans): 60mph = 2500 rpm in 6th gear
