Fuel economy on the late Rover mini coopers?

Depends on how you drive it. Anything from 25 mpg to around 45 mpg would be my guess, bearing in mind the aerodynamics of the car - or lack of aerodynamics!

Official Government fuel test figures (Urban/56mph/75mph) for my car were:
35.5/46.8/30.7mpg

A road test at the time gave the average consumption as 33mpg (c.f. 36mpg for the manual Mayfair).

just done a test over the last few days useing http://www.golders.talktalk.net/ and put in £20.01 and got 14.83lts done 110miles all town work gave me 33.72 mpg
my mini is a 1993 mayfair auto 1275

Both of my Mk7 Coopers (1997 and 1998) have averaged between 40 and 45 miles to the gallon over the last 18 months or so (although I have had almost 50 mpg at times). I've been commuting in them, so tend to do a mixture of both town and motorway driving.

t shows how bad the aerodynamics are on the Mini. My 2.5 litre BMW does 35 mpg overall and I don't drive it slowly either. Ah, technology is wonderful.
