Hi there just wondering what mpg people are getting out of their one I get an average of 47.9 which I am pretty pleased with, what do you think? whats yours?

mister.t · Apr 17th, 2008, 05:36 PM

In the R56 One I learnt in, that was averaging 37.6mpg (Give or take a few tenths) This is on par with our Cooper doing very short journeys and pretty much no motorway driving!!

That includes a lot slow speed manouvers and town driving - Also the very rare B road blat

miniian · May 3rd, 2008, 12:35 PM

i get 44.9mpg but i tend to do short trips, mainly say 3 miles to work then back again. buit im very happy its not much different to what i was getting from my 2.0 a3 diesel

Mishka39 · May 12th, 2008, 08:44 PM

Currently approx 43mpg. Car has only done 2000miles so still improving.
Tried changing gear in accordance with indicator for last tank full, made a small improvement but have nearly died of boredom.

miniian · May 16th, 2008, 03:12 PM

mine actually has shot up over the last few weeks. gone up from 44.9 too 45.2. but even tho my journeys tend to be shor ti should hope it continues to go up, i use the cruise control alot and stick to the gear change indicator. a full tank is about 411 miles no that ive actually done that many before filling!

In the last fortnight, doing the same journeys/driving, our Cooper has gone from about 36-37 to dead on 40 - I can only put it down the the warm weather!

Air Con is always on too, and short journeys

chiefy · May 27th, 2008, 01:43 PM

Cheapest car I have ever had to run - always averaging mid to high40's running around and have just driven from Cornwall to Edinburgh via overnight stop in Lincolnshire and averaged 54.7 doing motorway speeds all the way with air con on some of the time - what a cracking car - one year on and not a rattle.

Kenzo89 · May 29th, 2008, 08:57 PM

Wow, how do you all get so much out of it? I'm only averaging 40 mpg. The car's only done 700 miles though so I'm presuming it picks up judging by the responses so far?

ALD0 · May 29th, 2008, 09:02 PM

Would of thought you guys woulf be getting early fifties?

Is it a high revver engine or something...

The MINI One I learnt in apparently returns about 45mpg during normal driving with just the instructor - Falls to about 37/38 during tuition when manouvering and not understanding what 2nd gear is for

Once I got up to 5000 miles the engine just felt a lot freer and MPG improved by 2 or 3 MPG - although it was good anyway - in addition everything felt a lot nicer as the miles increased - gearchange etc - which was ok when new but pretty slick now. With the difference in price of unleaded and diesel - plus the difference in cost to buy there really doesn't seem to be any advantage in having a diesel at the moment.

MINI&MERCGUY · Jun 1st, 2008, 04:15 PM

I get about 37-40 mpg. This includes short 'on the choke' trips during the week, and longer, more efficient A or B road trips at the weekends...

Giannis · Jun 2nd, 2008, 02:26 PM

Well done all of you as you have achieved really impressive consumption figures.The consumption of my mini one is always around 8,3 l/100 km which is quite good as i never drive it slowly!!

Paulro · Jun 10th, 2008, 03:48 PM

I'm currently on 45mpg, with a mixture of motorway, town and national speed limit roads. Im currently doing about 100 miles a day and have 3500 miles on the clock.
Hopefully, the economy will go up as I get towards 10k miles.

I've also owned a 2.0l A3 diesel and got 42mpg on average. My Cooper S is doing 41mpg doing the same weekly journeys to work/shopping.

Really amazed and obviously please with diesel being 67p a gallon dearer.

Modern petrol engine really have closed the gap on diesels.

Korexz · Jun 17th, 2008, 05:10 PM

I'm getting around 27MPG avg on my 2008 Cooper S...

Am I doing something wrong?

Troy · Jun 18th, 2008, 03:19 PM

Yes I'm getting about 27ish aswell, but on a One. Only had it for four days and done 250miles though.

Kenzo89 · Jun 22nd, 2008, 03:51 AM

I'm getting 43mpg at most now, just reached 2200!

c.gray2008 · Jun 25th, 2008, 02:10 PM

Mines the same story really i get around 44mpg out of my one, tho sometimes it seems 2 last longer if i drive sensibly

.
what i have noticed tho its it absolutally DRINKS premium fuels, wasted 30 quids worth in a day!

rochie · Jul 2nd, 2008, 01:09 PM

Have to say since I have passed my test my mpg has now fallen to around 42, but that is "probably" down to a slight change in driving style lol.
