Ultimatly it depends how 'spirited' your driving is...
but in my '54 Jcw i'll see 25-30mpg for mixed town and country driving, With ~35 on motorways.

Can't help on the buggy i'm afraid!

cooper - 35~
Cooper-s 29~

I have seen hundreds of these cars, and that is my general thoughts from looking at numerous trips computers.

33mpg on the computer in my '05 jcw

supercharged= 26mpg and that is all town driving.

on a run then about 30 but it goes down depending on your speed.

In my 54 plate MCS, driving normally around town achieves 30mpg.
On a trip to Dundee last weekend, i set the cruise at 70mph and done about 80miles on the motorway and it achieved 40mpg!!!
But then the other nite after picking it up from a service, i kicked its teeth in and got 20.1mpg!!!!
Theres no two ways about it, when you drive them hard, they DRINK petrol like something with about 400bhp, not 170bhp!!! lol!!

Hard driving on the track is 11mpg!

At Bedford Autodrome in the rain, would've been less in the dry!. I get about 28-30mpg on my daily commute which is a mix of tight country lanes and fast A roads Though it will go lower if there's less traffic about

Tis true, especially at Bedford. I managed to get my standard R53 down to 8.3mpg but it was a very nice day. (This was 8.3 having been reset beforehand, else it would've been even more impressive!)

I normally get about 280 miles out of a tank, can be less, can be a bit more. Have never reached 300 miles though.

300 is possible on super, but it's REALLY boring to get the car to do it

I've never been anywhere near 300 in my Cooper S JCW! Have had it has high as 250, can get it to 230 if I drive like a fanny, normally about 200
