I drive a ONE, but that shouldn't make that much difference eh ?

I thought that I was doing quite well with fuel consumption, especially since I just had my most miles to the tank over last weekend when I went down to Olympia for the ski show.

Usually I get 330 miles to a tank of mixed driving, but at the weekend with lots of motorway work ( 70 - 75 mph) got almost 355. So to get 400 miles is << WOW !! >>

Presumably MO & MC have the same tank size ?

Picking up on the Optimax / Ultimate mentioned .... on my previous car it did seem to make a difference to performance and slightly better mpg, but nothing earth shattering. I have tried both on my ONE and can find no change whatsoever. I use Tesco, since I am lead to believe that it comes from the same place as branded petrols ( I work in transport ) and so can't be that different from their own brands selling for more ?
