Whats the max range on paper of the mpi coopers?

I did 301.1 miles from a full tank to not quite empty rekon I could have done another 20 or 30

pretty sure the mpi's have beigger tanks but it still sounds pretty good

They have a 7.5 gallon as opposed to the 5.5's? (I think)

That works out to be approx 42mpg, which is better than my spi @ 30 mpg, others claim the can get 45mpg or sometiems more. Sorry don't know what the paper figures are tho

Awesome! ive done 46 mpg in it before so I bet if I had drove better comming home from l2b an got like 45/46 mpg it would have been more

I think if you drove really well youd get 50mpg easy

Imagine that with a cooper 's be knockin 500 / 600 miles

No, MPIs have a 7.5 gallon tank, the same size that was used from some time in the 1970s onwards.

It's only 1960s and early 1970s Minis that had the smaller 5 gallon tank fitted.

Pretty much all Minis have a 7.5 gallon tank. Only earlier ones had a 5.5. :)

I can easily get 42 mpg out of my 1977 standard 998 if I drive it semi nice

Even when my MPi had 40k less on the clock I don't think I ever got more than 250 from a tank, running it as low as I dare.

300 between fill ups would be nice!

I did l2b in my 1380 estate was a total of 602 miles on 2 tanks.

4.5gallon tanks

Is this based on the odometer in your car or something else?
