Single figures when out playing. But it was a few years ago when petrol was fairly cheap. Another reason i am pleased its sold.

I can get to Wales on a single tank and still with a little left over, and that's around 150 miles.

get yourself down to southend mini action group or essex mini club, they doo 1 or 2 meets a month. you planning on going to london to brighton?

On a good run I could do the 180 miles from my parents in Northampton to my house in Cardiff with some fuel left in the tank of my MPi. It likes motorways :)

What it doesn't like is stop start traffic with a faulty diff and lambda sensor. So it's not giving very good economy at the moment!

[cooperdan]

Oh dear i remember the days of a faulty lambda....When i had a 2.5 st focus it seemed to do better than my old mini haha

[bcjames]

It's being sorted while the gearbox is changed this week. I couldn't get it out with the cheap socket I bought! Hopefully I'll be spending less time in the petrol station when she's back!

[cooperdan]

yes indeed ha..
