I was wondering how many miles everyone gets out of their minis to the full tank of petrol.

[JXC Mini GT]

When I checked my MPG at the weekend I achieved 40 MPG, the car was used mainly on A roads and not much town driving.

at a steady 100 kph, I can get 900 - 1000 km

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but I don't have standard tanks,,,,,,

OP. Think about the question! Far too woolly a request.
Minis have widely different engine specifications, tank capacities, body styles (drag coefficients), tyres etc etc.

Maybe you could re-phrase your question to get a more meaningful answer?

Not a lot if I keep revving it to 7,000 through the gears 😁

I think the op means how many miles per full tank rather than how many mpg, but that's just how I'm reading it *shrugs*

That's how I read it as well but its a pointless question until you specify tank capacity and engine spec.

Excellent point - well made *thumbs up*

I got from Barnsley to Crystal Palace and then Crystal Palace to Bournemouth on a single 7.5gal tank, in a standard 1275 Cooper Carb doing 65mph pretty much tne whole way.

[timmy850]

My car was getting about 7L/100km (40mpg) with a 25L (5.5 gall) tank - theoretical 350km (217 miles) range.

I don't like running my tank to empty

 

Because its too far to the next petrol station.

500 miles to about £40 @ £1.20 a litre

[Chesty2925]

I know every mini has different engine sizes. It was just a rough estimate with a standard 7.5 gallon tank. I wasn't after a scientific maths answer just curious.

It was an awesome question
