Mileage on your MINI

i'm just curious as to others MINI usage. i'm just a bit over one thousand miles a month. i'm lucky that my job keeps me out of town for most of the week. otherwise it could be ugly. i also did a driving school that put the hurt on my tires. let me know what kind of miles your MINI has.

Almost at 7000 km.

I picked my Mini up April 29, 2002.
Considering I didn't drive it this winter, I feel its some nice mileage!

impressive numbers smokey. considering the twisty roads you take through the mountains. i'm hoping for another 5000 on the original tires. i also picked up my MCS in august and i'm now close to 9000 miles.

1000 miles a month since December pickup.

Trust not the heart of a man for whom old clothes, and the Mini, are not venerable!

miles for me

A little over 5000 miles since February 2003. Bought my MCS in Florida and drove it home to Washington State. Nice drive but came Southern route. Would have been more fun in the Spring. Could have driven through Colorado and Montana.

Delivery August 12, 2002; current mileage 5,500KM. That should work out to only 687.5KM/month. Still a cherry, eh!

In my first month I averaged 1000km a week
now it's levelling off though, just about 7000km in the 10 weeks I got it.
By the way the drive to work is about 5km...

Picked up the car January 20th 2003...

Milage to date April 22nd 2003 > 5,900 on the clock...

Estimated milage to place of work:
6.5 miles (only a 10 minute drive...13 miles a day)...

I really think I need to calm it down for the sake of my bank balance

9700 miles since collection on Jan 13 2003.
And I've been on holidays for two weeks so the kiddie carrier has been out since then and I haven't filled up with petrol since 6 April.

And I work from home so no commuting.

But I do drive a lot on business!

Great choice for a business car though - low insurance great MPG and lots mnore fun than a Vectra DTi!

HO/Black MCC Born 29th June 2004 - first in the north east!

Blue Mini City E - "ratpack" - born 1984
bit scruffy, bit rusty, bit smelly but huge fun.
