Hi all,

IN GBP £ what does it cost to fill an 07 fuel tank.

Cheers

zyo · Sep 24th, 2007, 07:25 AM

Dont forget that the MCS has a 50 litre tank like the previous generation but the COOPER and ONE get a 40 litre tank.

FergusM · Sep 24th, 2007, 07:25 AM

mmmm... would that be a MCS or MC/One.....they have different tank sizes...suppose CooperD might be different also.

My MCS normally takes about £45 of V-power to fill.

Nath316 · Sep 24th, 2007, 07:29 AM

and depends on what fuel and where yu go

GAX857W · Sep 24th, 2007, 10:14 AM

Doh!

Its a petrol 57 Cooper

Nath316 · Sep 24th, 2007, 10:17 AM

ok so yu know that the tank is 40 litres

and petrol is as an example 93.9 ppl for normal unleaded

40 X 93.9 = 37.56

GAX857W · Sep 24th, 2007, 10:24 AM

I should be picing up my car at the weekend and the garage have said it comes with £25 fuel.

I will be calling them saying that it really should have a full tank as it is £16,000.

Richard Crofts · Sep 24th, 2007, 10:29 AM

I presume its an r56 new gen Cooper and not a R53 1st gen cooper but only just registered onto an 07 plate??!!

FergusM · Sep 24th, 2007, 10:31 AM

I only got 1/2 a tank..and spent more than £16k...

And £25 will give more than half a tank...

Why should it?

GAX857W · Sep 24th, 2007, 10:34 AM

Why not? VW supplied my last car with a full tank and that was no where near £16,000

Scrogg · Sep 24th, 2007, 10:37 AM

Good for them. But just because one dealership supplies cars with a full tank of petrol why should it automatically follow that all others must do so as well?

And what's the price of the car got to do with it? Are you more important spending £16,000 than someone that can only afford to spend £8,000?

GAX857W · Sep 24th, 2007, 10:39 AM

erm

Thinks for a second

yes!

GAX857W · Sep 24th, 2007, 10:40 AM

To put that into context

Yes I am to the garage!

minicabrio · Sep 24th, 2007, 10:45 AM

No you're not. I'd expect to be treated the same if I was buying a £10k MINI off the forecourt or a £70k 7-series.

All I'd advise is check your invoice, and see if you were billed for fuel, and if so how much... I was charged £35.00 for fuel when i bought my car, and received it with a 3/4 full tank, which in my opinion is quite fair. This charge was built into the delivery charge for the car.

GAX857W · Sep 24th, 2007, 10:49 AM

Its all about perception this really. I hope to leave the garage 100% happy the Wayside VW bods were superb. Fingers crossed the Mini garage will match this!

Still will see how it goes!

minicabrio · Sep 24th, 2007, 11:03 AM

You should leave the garage happy that you got what you paid for - were you charged for fuel, and if not did you negociate it as part of the deal?

If the answer to both of these is NO, then I can't see what you are complaining about.

GAX857W · Sep 24th, 2007, 01:57 PM

Im not complaining!

Surely that's a complaint, is it not?

sel · Sep 24th, 2007, 02:43 PM

you should be thankful you get any fuel....my mum collected her brand new car with just enough fuel in it to get her to the local petrol station :-)

Enjoy your MINI
