It can be economical however I'm blipping the throttle on every down change and love the noise it makes so mpg is not thought about much.

Is it just mine that is ok on fuel then lol. I am really quit happy with 300 miles to 60 quid.

Bring the Cerb out and i only see 200 miles to 80 quid

Sorry to hear about your operation. Why did you have to have your right foot amputated?

Because I am very sad I have recorded the economy of my 2005 R53 Cooper S since January 10th 2011 using iPhone app RoadTrip Lite (free).

Milage = 11,471
Average mpg = 32.94
80% of this is A road driving in 50mph commuter traffic.

I've done similar ... since Jan 5th 2011.

Mileage: 10,411
Avg mpg: 30.96

Around 60% A roads and Motorways, 40% city centre.

Best tank avg: 34.28
Worst tank avg: 27.83

Slow? That's a term I'd definitely use to describe the CTR!
