2nd Gen R60 Countryman What kind of mileage are you getting in your Countryman?

A bit less than the claim. Round trip to the coast (190 miles) with a kayak on the roof I get 28.9. Around and about mix about 26. I get around 350 mile on a tank and I use premium gas.

We get 26 to 26.5 in normal city/highway mix driving. Pure highway driving is 28 to 28.5. It's my wife's Countryman S with an automatic. Hope this helps.

 

daily commute: 30.5 mpg
screwing around town 26.7 mpg


womping on lil' ricer cars and tuners 16mpg (at best)

I have a 2011 S, ALL 4 manual transmission and i feed it 89 octane

it's soo priceless to walk all over a Prey-rude and see the kid's look of utter astonishment in my rear-view

 

You're running 89 octane in an "S" ?

 

um, yeah.. is there a prob?

that's what the dealer told me, and the gascap states...

 

No problem. I have had my wife running 93 octane in her's just like I do my JCW. I just reviewed the Countryman owners manual and it states that 91 octane is preferred but 89 octane is acceptable. Darn....I could have saved some money over the first 10,000 miles :mad2:

 

93? where do you get that? we only have 91....

89 seems to work just fine... i'm still deciding whether she runs better on Chevron or 76..

my 2006 Justacooper was getting 420/tank on 87 from 76... (miss that sometimes)

...Kelly, I'll try to make you feel better....yesterday I filled my wife's Countryguy with 89 octane and drove it 268 miles from Indiana back to Ohio. The previous tank of 93 octane got 28.4 mpg going over and the 89 octane got 28.6 mpg coming back. The mpg was calculated using the actual fill amount and trip odometer (not the seat of the pants on-board computer). I felt no difference in performance nor did I hear any engine rattle.

My JCW is staying on a 93 octane diet :cornut:

 

ok, dumb question, your JCW is it supercharged, or a turbo?

 

CHKMINI is "supersized" and the car has a turbo. :lol::lol:

Jim

 

TURBO with six on the floor...and one in the back seat!

 

Now if I understand this right you can put a half tank of 91 in & then add another half tank of 91 that'll give you 182. :cornut:
