Hi i have just bought an 04 plate Mini one 1.6 with 74000 on the clock... It has full BMW dealer history with it and is a cracking little motor for my wife... The problem we are having is... we filled it up with petrol approx £50 and it has only lasted a week... she got 284 miles from a full tank!!!! Do this sound correct??? She dont drive like a racing driver but think it is a little high!!!! this is mainly around town..Is there any thing i can check???

Thanks in advance....

sounds about right to me with my 1.6 cooper i put £55 in my tank and it lasts me 2 weeks and i do 100 miles a week just to work and back, let alone other trips in between. :)

driven really gentle , it reaches barely the 500 KM (300) miles per tank
in calculating its around 11 km to each 1 Liter of gas
when was it serviced last time and what did it include?

Sounds about right to be. I get 220 miles from a full tank in my convertible - so mine will be quite a lot less due to the weight of the roof. I use to get about 260 miles from a full tank from my 1.6 Cooper.
