230-260 miles in Cooper S, town driving and traffic mostly. Have got 300miles on Motorway driving in an 06 S. Spending £15-20 more on petrol per week than my 06 Cooper.

Im getting about 360-390 out of my JCW S on my daily commute with a mixture of roads.

Tommo · Mar 9th, 2008, 06:10 PM

About 300 - 360 on average from my R56 Cooper S on my daily commute and weekend blast.

Ade1986 · Mar 9th, 2008, 06:13 PM

Filled up today and the car said a range of 360, finished the 20 mile journey home - clear roads with an average of 39.2mpg (most impressive figure ive ever had). However combined with my short drive to work at a crawl the last tank averaged 27ish mpg. So it varies a huge amount depending on how and where you drive.
Car is a supercharged cooper s.

Normally for me I would get about 240-300 miles out of a tank but I dont do motorway driving, it is all in towns and shortish journeys.

The one week when I had to drive on motorways alot and had to do longer drives I actually got 390 miles out of a tank.

Lawrothegreat · Mar 9th, 2008, 07:33 PM

I've managed 420 miles on a tank with a R56 Cooper S (average speed of around 45mph) and was an average of cruising at 70mph on motorways, dual carriage ways etc, urban driving including traffic (although with auto start/stop this is less of an issue), and plenty of full throttle in 1st/2nd/3rd (although within legal limits of course!).

Not sure yet, but it's a long time since I had a car with so SHORT RANGE

.

And i've got a Clubman D!

250 to 400+ miles on my r53 JCW. Depends purely on roads, traffic and driving style.

If there was ever proof needed that I should get the Works conversion...

I probably get 250-odd out of mine, but it's mostly short journeys

cooperSMark · Mar 12th, 2008, 12:24 PM

I've only used 2 tanks up to now (only got the car last Thursday) and i got around 270 miles per tank. that's in an R53 2003 Cooper S

I had an average speed of 70 +/- 10 you choose

Hugo · Mar 12th, 2008, 09:05 PM

Been taking it easy this week, (not normal Madmax McCrae style) Sitting with around 230miles from this tank with a range of 60miles left.

Gone from 23mpg up to 27MPG plus back on Super unleaded for the last 2 fill ups.
