| Well as I said in an earlier post, I would imagine the on-board computer over reads slightly, so in reality the fuel consumption is in line with MINI's claims on the extra urban figure. Normally you wouldn't get close to a manufacturer's figure, but I believe I was probably driving the car more gently than the standard industry tests, and at a lower speed - 50mph against 56mph.
I couldn't drive the car that gently normally, over 120 miles I only overtook one vehicle - a 1930's bus. Impressive yes, but a Cooper D would do it whilst being pushed hard! |
