Awesome! I am going from a 2006 MC to a new 2012 MC and looking forward to seeing some improvement in gas mileage. I routinely got ~33 mpg in the 2006. Something closer to what you are seeing would be awesome!

Very cool =)

Got to admit that I enjoy the mpg on my straight cooper vs my Eco MR X...

Just installed the VIP air intake and hoping that it will help even more on the mpg during fwy driving...

Excellent!

My MCS has claimed a couple of times that I could get 500+, I intend to see if I can stretch it to that, at some point. My easy freeway commute is showing 37-38 mpg, I'll need a bit better than that to make it without relying on fumes!

I did 560 on my 2009 justa last week (all highway) after an oil change and a bottle of seafoam in the gas tank. I usually get about 520-540.

My first tank was less than 500 miles. All the ones since then have been over 500. Two tanks ago was a 600-mile tank, but when the "miles to empty" got down below about 40 the warnings became too obnoxious to deal with. The last tank was "only" 580 miles in large part because my wife was pestering me because the gas gauge "carrots" turned red at 570.

I'm 100 miles into the current tank, and the miles to empty gauge is telling me I have just over 600 miles of range left... :D

Awesome guys, I am trading in for a '12 Justa Clubman this week from an '08 S hatch, I can't wait to see how many miles I can squeeze out of my first tank of gas!

You all might want to consult the owner's manual regarding going below 30 miles estimated remaining fuel.

2007 justa, been getting about 370 miles out of a tank.................LMFAO, thats due to driving 36 miles in about 30 minutes each way to school.

Think my highest stretch has been 560 miles, about 80% highway (dead straight 20 miles highway each way to work at 55 mph) and 20% around town

Big expense cut coming from a vr6 gti that used to average about 21 mpg on a good week
