Hi,

What sort of fuel economy figures do people get from their cars? And what sort of range does this give you for motorway cruising on a production tank?

Very tempted to get a mini if it can a)fit the infamous MTB in the back and (b)get 220 miles home on one tank full (which my evil german contraption probably can't*)

*err, don't worry its NOT a BMW mini - its not 'that' evil....

Chris.

My 924S does about 23mpg, which I was horrified by only to find thats not bad for one of those in stop start motoring.

Never realised just how much a regular commute costs. Also scary to think I used to drive back to Devon from Essex with my CVH powered Quantum and use half a tank. I'd probably have to refuel before the Porsche gets there and its a much bigger tank.

Want something a little more economical and always had a soft spot for minis. Up till now the prices most fast(ish) minis seem to command had prevented me, but might be tempted now....

Doh! So much for doubling the fuel economy offered by my german barge!
