How Much Fuel???

I apologise in advance if this has already been spoken about!

When you received your MINI had the dealer filled it to the brim? or had they put a minimal amount in?

Answers on a postcard to this thread please!

I could be wrong but I thought that £30 worth of fuel was included in the "Delivery & Registeration price" ?

I got a full tank for "free".
It's shows on my invoice as £25 but is deducted as a micellaneous off the purchase price.
I think it's some kinda VAT thingy that they have to show it.

Sure it wasn't a whole tank, but you had a dodgy fuel gauge?!

September delivery - still waiting for replacement fuel senders.... funny that.

Free full tank

LIND of Norwich.

There's no obligation upon them to do so. It's a goodwill gesture.

Incidentally; I worked it out the other day. I'm getting around 35 mpg and do about 175 miles a week, which isn't much compared to others here; I'm sure.

Even at that, petrol is costing me £66 a month.

Bloody frightening. Work yours out, if you dare!

I have had my car 40 days and done just over 4000 miles!!

Thats 100 miles per day!
Been getting 32mpg on average and have take out a loan in order to pay for all the fuel that I am using!!

Everywhere around me sells at 74.9 which is robbery!!
