I have been keeping a close eye on my MPG since I got my R56 in October 09 and have a good idea where the numbers will fall. Normally I can get 100 something miles before the first petal on the guage goes out and 498 to 506 when the last two turn red. Last tank surprized me with 523.4. This tank gave me 123 to the first petal and another 108 when the second petal went out. I have no idea what is going on, but I'm on my way to a personal best. Jim
Well, this has all changed now hat I have the torque arm bushings and sprint booster, so disregard my first post. :yesnod: Jim
I got this new iPhone app that keeps track of my car maintenance. It also calculates gas mileage. My JCW has averaged 19.4 mpg over the last two fill ups. My convertible Justa averaged 19 even. :cryin:
i've been using my cousin's 2nd gen Cooper-Auto for the past 3 weeks, not too bad of a drive. I've only had to fill up the tank twice in 3 weeks and it's quite a pleasant surprise. First tank got me 480 miles (mixed city and hwy); 2nd tank got me 468 miles... but i did notice that the cooper gas tanks are BIGGER than the S... it's something like 14.4 gal which ~ to 32 to 33.5 MPG. In comparison, the MCSa that we use for the MINI Road Tour average about 28 to 31MPG. So for me, i'd give up the extra 2mpg and get the turbo I know my cousin is regretting it now b/c she wants more powa for her cooper
