Hello friends,
I am no car geek, but love my Mini 2003. I was always confused about what people say about optimal driving. The mini cooper 1st gen. in general have a best performance at 2950 revs. The question is should I drive at this engine rpm (irrespective of the gear) to get best mileage. Also should I accelerate gradually to this rpm or quickly reach this rpm and run study.
My daily run is 30 miles one way, dual carriage for 12 miles @ 60 mph , 12 miles @50mph single lane A road, 2 to 4 miles @ 30mph at junctions rest start stop.
