Mini has announced the third generation Cooper to be available in March. Of course, I already have one on order. ;)Specs are impressive! Cooper gets 52 mpg, Cooper S gets 41 mpg and Cooper D is 67 mpg! These figures are from a UK site. For comparison, my Clubman gets around 40 mpg overall and my first generation MCS (the one with a supercharger) gets 27 mpg.I posted a series of pictures showing installation of a Roadmaster baseplate on my 2008 Clubman, look for pictures of making my new Mini towable in the spring.Edited to correct a typo in the conversion site I used.

looked at one at Costco yesterday. over $34,000???????????????bumpy

"Cooper gets 63 mpg, Cooper S gets 41 mpg and Cooper D is 81 mpg! These figures are from a UK site."Sure that's gallons and not liters, and miles and not kilometers?

Yes, I'm sure of my figures. ;)Actual mpg posted on Mini.com (UK) is:4.5 liters/100 kilometers for Cooper3.5 l/100 km for Cooper D (probably not going to be available in the US)5.7 l/100 km for the Cooper SSo converting to US gallons gives the figures I posted above. Amazing, isn't it? All this from a turbo charged gasoline engine!

Real-world stats on the 2013 base Cooper is generally reported as about 32 mpg, and the 2013 "S" hovers at around 30mpg.:h

Yes, they still require premium fuel. If you run regular, mileage will be a bit less.

Can't fault your math GPG. I cheated and used a conversion site. When I went back to check, your figures came up. I must have made a typo so I will correct my original post.

4.5l = 1.19 US gallons and 100k = 62 miles.

I get 52 mpg for the base model

D Model - 67 mpg

S model - 41 mpg

Please let me know if my math is wrong.

Do they still require premium fuel ?

Notice that the best figure of 3.6l/100k (67mpg) is for the Cooper D. The diesel engine model probably won't be available in the US.

Yes Frances, that's for the 3rd generation, 2014 Mini. It has two all new turbo charged engines, a 1.5 liter 3 cylinder engine in the Cooper and a 2.0 4 cylinder in the MCS.

Yes, I'm sure of my figures. ;)

Actual mpg posted on Mini.com (UK) is:

4.5 liters/100 kilometers for Cooper
3.5 l/100 km for Cooper D (probably not going to be available in the US)
5.7 l/100 km for the Cooper S

So converting to US gallons gives the figures I posted above. Amazing, isn't it? All this from a turbo charged gasoline engine!
