Fuel Consumption

[Nick]

Anybody else got a works s? My fuel consumption isnt exactly to my liking, i mean i didnt expect it to be frugal but i think im getting 19mpg!!

would be interesting to see how many miles other owners are getting out of a tank of fuel??

Heavy feet?;) Sounds about right! If I am being 'enthusiatic' I can get mid to low 20's in my standard cooper.

No its not heavy feet in my case, i cant rev the thing as its not even done 1k miles yet......

[GAJ]

That doeas sound quite low then. The engine will loosen up after a few more k and the consumption should improve but you will be able to rev it then so a noticeable improvement is unlikely.

I get similar fuel consumption but never below 18mpg.

[The Dogfather]

My consumption when down from 39 - 40 to 29 - 33 when I changed to 17s from 15s. Probably got something to do with my average speed going up by 20mph though!

[Gismo]

I managed to get as low as 9 mpg :eek: was booting it a wee bit though ;)

[Sheilz]

Have deliberately held back on the right foot because I never seemed to be away from the petrol pump. The cost of optimax has crept up over the past few weeks. Am making a small saving as a law abiding citizen rather than swapping to unleaded. At least its still an option for my wee car if the price rises much more. (Ye can tell I'm skint!).:(
:D:D:D

Driving my JCW S like a granpa I can manage to get around 35mpg. Adopting my normal, day to day styleee I'm averaging about 29-30mpg (mostly dual carriageway / motorway stuff mind you). Lowest figure I've achieved is around 23mpg :evil:

[Smurf]

Don't have an 'S', but my Coop started off giving me around 25mpg, much to my disappointment, but she soon improved, and now I get between 37 and 42 depending on my driving style!

[sw]

My Standard Coop has returned no more than 40mpg but no has never been any lower than 33mpg, probably my driving though!!

im the same on the roads but its a killer thru town!!

i think well im sure that i read some where that the Works Cooper S actually gives better fuel consumption than the cooper s??

[Julz]

My average driving gets me about 24mpg but if I'm out for a wee bit of fun, I reset one of the consumption outputs and average about 14mpg!! (Better than Rob, over £60 to fill his car for 250 miles!!:eek:)

That's nothing try owning a 3.2 V6 Touareg . Well over £60 to fill this one.

[Eggy7496]

aaahhh the toureg!! looks fab in the audi body kit u get and with 20" kahn RSC alloys. Aberdeen had one as a demonstrater!!! V10 diesel is the best one - more torque than any other vehicle!

What one earth were you doing???;):D
I have a very elderly cooper and cant be bothered working out the maths to see what i get. (no trip computer you see) All I know is that the folk at my local garage know me by my first name!!:D

[Eggy7496]

It was a rather vigorous 50 mile run to the missess at the mo I'm lucky if I'm getting 250 miles from the tank:clown:

[AberdeenMini]

I've got a Cooper and mainly run about town in it. Dont have an OBC so i dont know the mpg but i only ever get about 240miles for a tank, and that is it completely empty. Saying that when i take it down to stirling or where ever i get over 350miles :D

[Eggy7496]

seems like theres quite a range

[CooperTrooper]

my cooper gets a consistent 26.1mpg on the OBC, no matter what i do it wont go up!

to be fair, my right foots pure lead, which doesn help :blackeye:

everyone in work agrees, my coopers the fastest mini on the road the way i drive it :evil:

[Duncan Stewart]

Normal fuel consumption in my Cooper is low 30's mpg. Cullen run consumption - 20mpg!!! :D
