Had a courtesy car today (mine in for a oil service) - a 59 plate 116i.

Drove from Doncaster and Leeds and back in steady traffic, no major queues, didnt rag it, about 70 miles in total.

Average MPG = 32.4. Thats wank imho.

Got to drive like an absolute saint to get anywhere near. My ED should do 46-47mpg according to the book, currently showing 26.9mpg which at least makes years look better

Wife has just got a Prius, averaging 45.9.

Official figures something like 72.

And she tends to drive like she has semtex strapped to the sole of her right shoe

I'm getting an indicated 34 mpg from my Cooper S and I drive it hard in sport mode everywhere.

I was only planning on keeping for a short time while I decided what to get next but I'm starting to think I might keep it.
