Can anyone tell what mpg you get out of your cooper S and how many miles you get on a full tank ? As i am trying to work out which is better the cooper D or the cooper S due to the high price of diesel is there much difference now ? I have heard the S can quite frugal if you want it to be ?

I can confirm that my MCS goes great on the highway for fuel... over 1000miles, it averaged 45mpg - but around town and my driving style it is closer to 28mpg. Can really notice the difference if you take care and actually drive conservatively.

On the highway - great on fuel and got the power and confidence to overtake. Around town, can be driven like 'grandma' or like you stole it.

I would go the MCS...

Over the last 4000 miles R56 MCS has averaged 34 mpg with all sorts of driveing

Getting around 40mpg average from mine from my daily commute to work which is 2 miles town, 6 miles up and down windy country roads (i.e. fun). Not bad I think and the smile it puts on your face driving it over the D is worth mucho £££££s.

30 mpg, mostly around town and back roads.

...loads more if you behave...

Currently 32.3mpg, 99% town driving and to give you a comparison my previous 2 MINI ONES were doing between 29-31 with the same sort of driving.

Bought my MCS in July 07 and the MPG over 6,000 miles is 35 from the time I got it. The computer shows an average speed of 28.7 so that's very good. My previous Civic Type-R did 10 MPG less.

On long trips I would expect an average of about 41 plus
