Hi all

Before I go ahead and upgrade my engine I just wanted to know how much petrol other minis get through so I won't be shocked if my mini gets a little thirsty.
I've got a standard 1.3 Sprite 'granny engine' at the mo.

I haven't worked out how many miles per gallon I get through but what I do know is that it costs around £15 to get me from Bromley to Milton Keynes.

How longs a piece of string... all minis engines and setups are different. for example;

Miniman Pie: 998cc standard (i think) - went to the nurburgring and back on one tank of fuel.
DJH MM (Me): 998cc half race spec - 20mpg (if i'm lucky)

It really is an individual case scenario.

El Gordo takes a fiver or so a week to keep her topped up to half a tank (like a reserve). I can pootle to college (5mins) or go on a good drive (1 hours or so) with little to no fuel problems. Does drink when I decide to floor it tho.

My bog standard 998cc does about 120 miles to £15 so that's about 32mpg if fuel costs 90p litre if my maths is right.

how do you work it out! i always keep mine topped to a full tank so £10 = top 1/2 tank!

and i do about i dunno 70 miles a week (being generous as i dont want to get depressed)

35mpg on the BH2N run '05, which was the last time I worked it out. I could put a new sender on but that would make it too easy.

I may be able to supply video of Pie re-fueling in Belgium......
