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.
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:
...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.
