53mpg ?? Lucky you, my wifes cooper does no more than 29-31 even on a run. Mini must have been going down a very steep hill when they measured their official mpg figures.
And before you say it must be our driving style, my BMW 320d compact sport does 48 - 52 mpg in everydayd rivng conditions - almost exactly the quoted combined figure.
My conclusion is that all mini's drink a lot of fuel and they had to lie on the official figures or no one would buy one !! |
