Cooper 1.6D - real world mpg

[MrVert]

Hi All,

Looking at a Dec 2011 1.6D Cooper and would like some real world mpg figures.

130 mile a day commute, mostly motorway and 60 mph A roads.

Honest John website figures suggest 56mpg.

Is this about right?

Thanks in advance.

Thats about what I get in my Clubman Cooper D according to the OBC. My commute is 60 miles a day on A-roads and dual carriageway.

My petrol Cooper used to average 36mpg with 95% 22 mile b-road commute. When I used it for the occasional 200 mile motorway trip from Thames Valley to Norwich this would only improve to about 38mpg. If I thrashed it around it didn't drop much below about 34mpg. It seems it just didn't change much however I drove it.

Obviously this is a response to kapiteinlangzaam post, not the OP

Not that much difference between the petrol and diesel according to people's estimate. My 2007 One 1.4 lifetime average is around 44. If I do a M4 run to Heathrow, 60m return and difficult to exceed 70 due to traffic, I get about 51/52.
