We've just got back from 2 days in the Lake District. 400miles of Motorway plus another 100 miles or so of varied (Hardknott pass anyone!) B roads gave an average of 38.9mpg.

R56MCS with Works 192 tuning kit.

On a good run at a steady 70-75 i get 40mpg. Around town it's about 28-29mpg. After 8k miles i've averaged around 32mpg (actual not OBC)

A lot better than my R53MCS:D

However, how anybody gets the claimed 55mpg ( or anywhere close ) that MINI state:confused:

Did you not ask the same questions a couple moths or so ago.
Just get one bought man. You know deep down you want another MINI.

I get on avaerage with a bigger run down the A7 or such like about 40-42.
running about the town about 35-38

Going out having fun and giving it a bit of a rev about 30.

My sticking point is the cost of finance from MINI.

Try Sainsburys. Thats were I went initially for my finance and then Mini were able to beat it.

Averaging 30mpg....loads more if I get a run or behave myself, but nice twisty roads between my house and work so never manage to behave.
