Hey all

Now the R56 MC auto has been out for a few months, I'm curious to know what kind of fuel consumption people are getting. What's typical in everyday driving? What's achievable if you're careful, or if even you're not

?

My MC auto clocked up its first 1000 miles today, on a 350-mile trip - mainly relatively legal motorway cruising, plus some M25 carpark and a B-road blast to finish - and its average on the OBC showed between 41 and 42 mpg. Given its newness, this seemed reasonable to me, but interested to know how other people are doing, especially as their cars loosen up (hopefully!) after a few thousand miles.

Any comments welcome.

Thanks
S

2nd tank of gas, 460 miles in all. Approx 30MPG, I hope it goes up!

Nearly all Urban driving im getting about 250miles out of a tank (filling up on last 2 lights) but ive only done 800miles so i dont think its too bad, I get about 34mpg urban.

Done 5,000 miles in the MC Auto and its doing 38MPG according to the OBC.

Just a pity they didn't put the MCS 50 litre tank in the MC ............... We do about 350 miles between fill ups.

I just filled up for the second time. OBC says 29.4mpg average. I got it with 18 miles and the average was 28. Been going up steadily.
My running mileage goes between about 12 and 99.9 (max?) It spends most of its time between 28 and 45. Can this be averaged over a little longer so the numbers do not bounce around quite so much?
My old Cooper started at 26 mpg for my first gallon and averaged almost 30.5 for the first 100K until they switched the the winter blend last fall when it reverted back to about 27.

Does anyone know the mileage for the Automatic Cooper S and the Manual Cooper S? I live in Richmond, British Columbia and we don't have the automatic yet, it arrives around the end of May - beginning of June. Thanks.

Remember there are differences between Imperial and US gallons.

bljppi · Apr 30th, 2007, 01:23 AM

5 tanks, 2000K miles and the onboard computer is up to 29.9 mpg averagr, as well as 51.5 speed average. hoping to hit 30mpg next week.

Over here (US ) both R56 MC and MCS were fitted with the larger tank 50L as standard.

I have 2,800 miles on my MC and I have been getting 38 - 39.5 mpg. This is just regular driving. I do not typically drive on the highways.

Martin L · Jun 25th, 2007, 04:40 PM

I'm at 3000 miles in my Cooper and we're averaging a very good 38mpg. This is a majority of town driving. Long/motorway journeys don't appear to improve it... (maybe it's the speed I travel at

)
It's far better then I was expecting and am more then pleased.

Buzzer · Jun 29th, 2007, 07:36 AM

2,500 mile MCA we get 36-37 mpg, most of this is town driving and some fast motorway work.
