I certainly got a fright with regards fuel economy after changing my daily drive from a classic Mini to a 02 MCS.

My fuel consumption has doubled. And I wouldn't say that the MCS is twice as fun or that much faster (especially round town).

The strange thing is, you can't seem to get good fuel consumption around town in the MCS, no matter how you drive.

Don't get me wrong, I love the MCS but I would have expected it to be a bit more economical considering it's a modern car.

I have been told that the MTH Tuner remap improves economy which sort of implies that the factory map may be the culprit.

Cheers,

Dave
