I am increasingly worried about the about of petrol my MINI One is eating, i half filled the car on Thursday last and have driven about 70 miles and it is now flashing empty, my driving style is calm and I dont over rev the car and I try and change up the gears as soon as possible

Also is it normal to get a high smell of fuel when the car is sitting idle

Is this normal, or could there be something seriously wrong?, I have spoken to a girl in my area who has a Cooper and she gets about 120-130 miles from 1/2 a tank

any help would be greatly appriciated Jp
