fuel compsumtion in my MCS
Discussion
If it is the supercharged mcs it is fairly typical. I used to get around 28mpg - the miss us could get 30mpg. On a long run I managed 35mpg, but was driving like a saint.
However the later turbo models should get way better mpg.
No real tips for saving fuel other than the bleeding obvious. Don't rev up to the limiter on each gear change, change up to sixth at the earliest opportunity, check tyre pressures etc etc. It does take the fun out of driving the mcs though....

OP, it looks like yours is a supercharged one judging by your pic so I'd say 25mpg is probably about right - though I'd expect to be able to get >30 on a run unless you're really pressing on on the motorway.
For the sake of comparison, my R56 JCW averages about 25mpg in everyday driving but can be eked out to 41mpg on the motorway provided you stay under 80mph.

I get 270 miles to a tank which is about 29mpg. I have tried driving like miss daisy but thats not why I bought it.
I know what you mean.Get 30mpg out of mine combined,depends how you drive them.On the M62 the other week,no matter how gentle on the throttle i was i couldn't get more than 29.7mpg out of it!!Gassing Station | New MINIs | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
