I'm afraid I keep a full and accurate record and fill up brim to brim every time with 99RON stuff    8-)

Here's my full record, a 5dr DSG with Cruise Control, a fair bit of city centre commuting the whole period :-

As it happens it's nearly bang on a year since I got my R  :)

Incidentally, the MFD display has been pretty accurate over the long term too



From MPG thread http://www.rforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=1250.0


Ouch I am glad I dont own an R, I get double in my GTD on a bad day.

Well, make of this what you will, but when it came to ordering my new MINI, I was originally planning on getting a diesel. A Mini isn't a straight line car so outright horsepower doesn't really matter - it's all about the bendy bits. I figured the fun would only be increased if I wasn't drinking any fuel at the same time (the diesel can get up to 80mpg allegedly).

So with that in mind off I went to the showroom...

...ordered a JCW petrol. That went well  :grin:

Well if you really try, this can be achieved in an R, but it's not much fun    :drool: :smug:

Average over a 20 odd mile trip

Good figure.  :smiley:

I find that 58mph is a good cruising speed for both economy and comfort, 70's too fast for the mpg but at 50-57 you get hgv's overtaking you etc

My MPG average driving to work each day is around 35 - 38 mpg. Mostly motorway!

p.s. I would love an R but I cringe everytime I fill the car up at the moment so I guess an R is not really for me!
