cooper 's' fuel economy

[BOYROLLO]

hi there was recommended this site from a friend..........just wondering what kind of mpg i should expect from a cooper 's' supercharged version on long runs(motorway) and round the town???? cheers for all inputs

[N12 JLK]

We get about 42 mpg on short journeys about town. 48 on the motorway. you know you want it

You have a supercharged Mini :frown::frown:

it's a turbo you have ya numpty:thud:

[john]

I have a supercharged works and average 20mpg, less if tanking it and about 34 on motorways.:thumbs up:

[AndyP & Lenore]

One of our MINI's is a Supercharged S. If we're careful and on long journeys we get about 30 to 34mpg. When enjoying the "spirit" of the MINI we get 26mpg ish.

Much better economy on the R56 Turbocharged. Although we still don't get N12JLK's figures. Ours are more like the high 30's. But then, we're driving an auto gearbox.

Also, both of ours are JCW's.

Mostly around the 25 mpg mark,but, better on motorways, actually better at 80mph (Ken don't read this :hand:) than it is at 70mph, gets around 32mpg.
But, had it down to 11mpg at Knockhill :Whistle:

I can get around the 30+ mark on a run with 'mixed' driving, if I'm using all the performance... don't ask! High teens? Well what do I expect from a 1.6 putting out over 220bhp? If you're worried about economy, don't buy a Supercharged S. Simple.

I never got more than 33 in my R56

[MrMischief]

This makes interesting reading, pretty low figures for the R53 JCW's. Our S has the JCW intake & a Hartge exhaust and gets around 36mpg on the usual commute and over 40 if cruising along the motorway. It drops quite a bit if you drive it like you stole it....but any car does. I think it's pretty economical compared to most Jap performance cars.

Will be interesting to see if our economy changes at all when I fit the late spec M45 - hopefully it'll improve.

I never get much more than 32 out of my 57 plate Type R

[KenL]

... actually better at 80mph (Ken don't read this :hand:) than it is at 70mph, gets around 32mpg.
...

How can you get better mpg at such a highly illegal speed :smilewinkgrin:

I would have thought the higher revs and increased wind resistance would decrease mpg?

That's not bad, but then it's not a Jap performance car :hand::shut up::ragin::p;)

[gauldrymini]

I get around 37mpg from the R56 Factory JCW...but have seen it up to 41mpg on a decent run:yes nod:

Must try super unleaded to see if this gets even better mpg:computer:

Is it a target?

I could beat you all in an auto box.:thumbs up:

Took an R56 Cooper Clubman Auto out for a wee test drive a few days ago. It had half a tank when we set off. After 20 miles the warning light was on.:eek:
