Got the call of alsion @ woodmans yesterday saying that my JCW kit has come in and its just a matter of booking the beauty in to be fitted can't wait, will find out Tuesday when its being fiited then i think i will take a few days of work and enjoy every miniute of it.

Not that i am overly bothered but none the less it's unexpected.

What is everybody getting on a long run ?.

In 2500 miles i have averaged 32.2MPG ( OBC ) and this is mainly city / shortish trips ( 6miles ) together with longer trips at the weekends. On the longer trips i don't believe i'm getting more than 38-40MPG sat at 75MPH for 60-120 mile trips. I put this down to it being tight on run in. I did 300 miles at the weekend and upped my OBC to 32.6MPG. Now this means i was getting no more than 38MPG.

MINI state 55mpg, and although i don't expect to get this i for sure usually getter closer than this on all my previous cars.

Anybody else have this issue ?.

Oh, other than that this car is truely eye wateringly good

Recently on a long run from Milton Keynes down to Totnes I got 35 MPG overall, doing it again tomorrow so I'll keep an eye on that

How many miles have you got on th clock so far ?. 35mpg is way off the 55mpg claim

[Washy]

I go from Northampton to Birmingham and back to football every other week and on the last three trips it has managed around 40mpg.

I've got just under a 1000 miles on the clock so far, you think it will get better or worse for that matter? Mind you it's better than what I used to get out of my Cooper! maybe it's my driving.

The economy will improve when you've put more miles on it .

Where does MINI state this? All the literature I've seen state c45mpg for the MCS on a combined cycle - only for extra urban does is state 54.9 to see this you'll have to cycle through the obc to view actual mpg not your average. The actual shows metrics for that exact moment in time.

The book figures are to be taken with a pinch of salt - car was probably being driven at below the legal limit on mostly flat terrain at a test centre or even that might just be the engine bench result - Just like how many car makers state the bhp the engine made on the bench - no in the car.

If your concerned about MPG then don't break the speed limit!

My early R56 did 40MPG doing 2 30 mile trips per week day mainly at 70MPH and shorter trips at weekends. With the Works kit it now does 41-42MPG. Could probably extend that a bit driving more gently round the twisties but thats no fun is it.

Doesn't look like the fuel saving measuers Mini added amounted to much?

I blame Neil and Miles

I would absolutly love one! trust me But I cant really justify the extra for it all round, the cost of the car, insurance, fuel, tax etc.

Cannot wait for the Dooper

But S has a low road tax too, same as the Dooper.. and thought the insurance wasnt alot more for u? and as for fuel, who needs to worry about that, think of the enjoyment of the car

[supa-dupa-cooper]

Dooper road tax is only £35
Dooper insurance is £200 less
Dooper fuel cost are loooooww

But I might get some JCW accessories on it to compromise and i can have the Works S to look forward to in the future
