What kind of gas mileage are you guys getting in the MC/MCS?

My MC CVT only averages ~6km/L, ie ~250-260km/tank, kinda suck, worst than my other car which has a 3.6L engine. Just wonder whether this is because I m still breaking in (just done 1000km) or is there something wrong with my car.

260 a tank? really? Something has gotta be wrong! With the Supercharger in my MCS, I'm getting atleast 340-350 a tank with 1600km on the clock. I think you should bring back to BMW to check it out!

I think MC and MCS share the same tank size (50L)!

cliffywong · Jun 10th, 2003, 11:40 PM

u2silly,

I've got somewhere around 290- 320Km per tank. Got 1100KMs so far. But the MC should be much better than the MCS on mileage. Curious are u filling the tank everytime the lights go on?.

fai · Jun 10th, 2003, 11:41 PM

yes,I think so. your car must have something wrong!
My MC CVT runs 9.5KM-10.5KM/L averagely.

My MC has done 9200km. It is quite stable now at about 350km-360km per tank, i.e. about $1.2 per km.

Thanks guys, that's really helpful.

Yeah, I usually go stright to the gas station shortly after the red light. Like last night, I put in 40L, that works out to be ~6km/L kinda low. Will try for another couple of tanks, if noting improves, it is gonna go back to the shop.

wongakh · Jun 11th, 2003, 10:56 AM

Mine is a MC manual, and haven't really measure the fuel consumption yet, but I could get over 430KM before the red light is on.

My CVT (without any modification) is 13,400km on the clock. Each tank of Esso (the cheaper one, about HK$450) can last for 380km to 400km.

Hi U2silly,

My MCS is around 5400km. My average is around 400-420km per full tank for running on high way and around 350-380km for daily running. Can anyone correct me that I always think the consumption of fuel for a powerful engine used at the same model and weight of a car is more efficient. Thanks in advance.

MIne is doing 14000km, after 2 adjustment(they adjsut to a higher RPM) at BMW due to the engine stalled problem, it is doing around 320km/tank for normal grade gas. Before it do around 360km/Tank

cliffywong · Jun 11th, 2003, 03:26 PM

Windy,

When are u coming out to join us. Everyone is kind interested in seeing the 200 km/hr mini CVT.

yukclee · Jun 11th, 2003, 03:39 PM

My mileage of 350km-360km per tank may be a bit low as most of the time we have 2 people in the car. So you may get up to 400km if you are the only one in the car.

simonMCS · Jun 12th, 2003, 01:32 PM

My Cooper'S' with 3300KM now does average $1.2/km.....the worst was $1.4/km (some heavy right foot).

Andy8 · Jun 13th, 2003, 10:55 AM

I used to get between 450-550klms a tank, and you guys know how much i used to drive and it was heavy right foot more than not, then again I did have 20K on the clock

Yoda · Jul 18th, 2003, 07:40 AM

Mine is 6.xx Km/L, as in Bangkok is stop and go traffic so the fuel consumption sucks. And I always use SD.
