That is definitely low mileage. I get around 22-23 in my Mustang, pushing another thousand pounds around town. When you bring it in, I would complain about the mileage, can't hurt..

 

You've gone 13K miles without an oil change??? There is your problem. I bet you'll be getting close to 30mpg once you get that burnt oil out. MINI recommends 10K oil changes, but that's crazy. I do every 6K.

 

I bought it used with 10k on it and the dealer did an oil change before I picked it up, sorry for the confusion lol. I'm planning on paying for oil changes at 5k then having the dealer do the free one at 10k under the maintenance plan.

 

Phew. That sounds better. No reason you should be getting that low of mpg with a new car.

 

I have 420 miles on my jcw hardtop and I only get about 21.9 mpg in the city sometime 22 that's it

 

I'll play:
2007 MCS, probably needs a carbon cleaning and new air filter. Just changed oil today, second change in last 5k miles (first time, napa gave me wrong filter, so changed after 2k miles with new filter).
I drive in city, very little highway and when it is highway, its usually 70-80mph.
According to aCar (my fuel and records app), I'm averaging 27.10 in last 3 months. This is actually better than I thought considering I was below 25mpg first month before changing oil. I'm guessing I could hit 30 if I was more conservative, but i didn't buy this car to drive that way. I drive all the time in sport mode and I don't redline it, but do push the gas hard, shift between 3k and 5k depending on traffic around me.

 

Recently moved to downtown Los Angeles. My commute before the move would net me around 32/33 mpg.

Since moving to the city that has dropped to 26. Stop and go certainly takes it's toll on overall mpg's.

 

2013 roadster MCS and I get 34 plus. I have a real heavy rt foot. But if I'm lazy and don't want to stop for gas on my way home. I can really stretch out my mileage by coasting. My daily trip is 140 miles. If only two candy corns left I can just coast all the way home. I just feather the pedal and can get 60 miles on just one candy corn.

You can add a 2012 Justa averaging 42.7 MPG over 22,000 miles so far.

 

My jcw is a 2013 with 480 Miles on it only get about 21 to 22 mph on it

 

My S is a 2012 R58 .... Might be the only one here, and the brother R59s lol

 

You guys are lucky to get such awesome MPG! I barely get more than 23~ MPG on my R53 while my dad barely gets 13 mpg on his FX35 -.-!

I'm officially jealous!
