Hello all, I pick up my new cooper next week and just wanted to know what the range is on a full tank? Am I going to need to fill up every 5 mins or can it go for a while between fills

Thanks

Wouldn't it have been an idea to find this out before you bought it if it's going to be an issue? Just saying.

It´s not a deal breaker, I´m upgrading from a Citroen Saxo so even if the mini had a 100 mile tank it wouldnt bother me!

Once I take delivery I´ll post my thoughts

You probably won't get a realistic fuel consumption till after 4k miles / once the engine has bedded in.

My wife's Countryman S' consumption was almost as bad as my modded R53, but now...6k miles on, it's returning a much better consumption. Not that I care too much, would have not bought the S otherwise. smile

My F56 does about 46mpg and get about 320ish miles from a Tank. I tend to fill up when on the last two bars on fuel gauge so could get 350+ I guess. Had it since March. The roads I drive are mainly up and down hill country roads so could probably get more out on flat roads.

Quick update, have done my first tank in the cooper and averaged 44mpg, not great but not horrendous.

I don't think that's too bad either.

I'm thinking about one of these as my next company car. My diesel Fiesta struggles to do more than 51mpg even driven like miss daisy so was thinking that if the petrol Cooper did high 40's I shouldn't see much of an increase in fuel costs.

Not sold on the rear lights, but the interior is a nice place to be and that 1.5 3 cylinder petrol looks great on paper. What do you make of it so far?
