Im averaging 37 with my fairly light right foot and Straight Cooper. 60%highway 40%city roughly

 

I get about 34.5 with a CAI and driving like a bat outta hell all the time. 2010 MCS.

 

Since I switched to 215/45-17 tires, my OBC reads lower than actual. The last tank, the trip computer read 36mpg, but calculated at 38mpg when I filled up.

 

Naw, no foul. We're on the same page...

 

Additionally, I only sometimes use the clutch to take it out of gear. Otherwise I just wait till 800-1000 and slip it out, no clutch.

 

At 214 mph, in City driving, I average about 62 miles per gallon. I believe if I drive a little more conservatively I could probably average about 75 MPG.

 

Ha! I do that every day; down hill, with 80lbs of pressure in my tires..

 

I think we need some YouTube documentation to make it official! YouTube is pretty much the same thing as a peer reviewed journal.

My Onboard computer will never go over 32MPG. Even I was doing HWY driving for two hours straight. Weird...

After next fill I will do a manual count.

 

zuyzuy, you may need to reset your MPG gauge. There are two, at least on my 2012. One is "instant MPG", the other is "cumulative MPG". The latter is the total since whenever the reading was last reset. Which in your case, may have been when the car was built at the factory. In that case, it would take one heck of a lot of driving to move the average much--especially if you have a lot of miles on it.

 

^^^this. I usually reset mine (along with avg speed) after every fill up..

 

Yup. Reset the trip counter & average mpg every fill up. I average 32mpg & 350mi on the computer

 

Never tried that. One thing weird, at least on the 1st gen, is how abruptly idle fuel cuts in as you decel in gear past about 1400 rpm. Some clutch before this just to avoid this jerk.

2010 Justa, manual. Daily driver: 5 mile city commute plus 'recreational' driving:
30.1k total miles / 831.6 total gallons = 36.2 mpg average over 3 years.

That's 74 fill-ups: worst tank was 32 mpg, best tank was 45 mpg.

I'm no hyper-miler - sometimes it goes like a scalded cat - but I do hate to use the brakes. The brake pedal is scientifically designed to turn $4/gal premium gasoline into hot air.

 

Holy crap! In case you're interested, (I'm really not...lol), lifetime average of 31.4mpg. 2010 MCS with the sport mode always on.

But really, I don't care! My last car, (a 2001 Audi A6 Avant) was lucky to avg 20 mpg...

Now, it gets low, I fill it up. I have no desire to try to get ANY extra gas mileage. I just don't care...lol

 

That's incredible. Best I've ever done in the 08 Justa was ~42mpg.

How many of you guys are on fuelly?? Does there seem to be any discernible difference in MPG between the 07-10 and the 11-13 engines for base coopers?

 

I'm on Fuelly. Look for the name of my car, "Fenimore".

I'm probably a little bit atypical of MINI drivers, though.

(And I still wish I could have gotten the MINI D instead of the Justa. Or maybe even the MINI One; that could have been an interesting exercise!)

 

I'll add you if you don't mind. Please excuse the lack of Mini in the Fuelly, expecting my new one any day now.

 

2007 MCS. City 29-30mpg consistent with AC normal driving. Hway 33-34. Best I ever got was 34.4 to Denver and back with no AC freeway at 80mph. I'm impressed with the Justa numbers here. I wonder what the new Justa F56 with the turbo 3 cylinder will get. Could be interesting because Mini always says it's improving mileage as a goal.

 

I just took a 3,200 mile road trip (four days) from Michigan to/from southern Florida and averaged 42-44 mpg for each tank. Tried to stick to 5-7 mph over speed limits of 65-70. 2012 Justa manual. Slightly less in the West Virginia/Virginia hills.

 

I was managing 32 mpg on a 1500 mile trip on a highly modified r53.


Then I also managed 18.4 on the way back. 260whp r53 can be little devils

 

I know this is a topic with many factors contributing to your MPG but I don't understand how people who drive hard still manage 30 MPGs where I'm only squeaking out 22-24 (just over 300mi per tank roughly) with the sport button off (98% of the time) for the last few fill-ups to see if I could get high 20's atleast. I'm due for an oil change soon at the dealer, is the low MPG's worth mentioning as in will they really do anything diagnosis wise? If it matters I have a 2010 Cooper S Manual with stock tires at 38psi and 13k miles.

 

What grade gas are you using? You should be getting close to 30mpg, especially since your tire pressure is good. I do my oil changes every 6K miles. I found that my MPG would go down near the end if I tried to do oil changes every 8K miles. Synthetic oil, yes?

 

93 currently from either Citgo or Shell. I'm just approaching my first oil change which I'm going to have the dealer do. I bought it certified from a Mini dealer (so I assume synthetic is currently in it) and have the service plan and extended warranty which is why I thought I might mention it to the dealer. I do mostly city which I know yields a lower MPG but whats stinks is I'm not driving hard (enjoying it) because if I'm going to get possibly lower than 22-24 MPG I might as well go back to DD my 500+whp Evo lol
