Are you sure the sports packaged had LSD!!! Anyway Buzz average is 32mpg and Lucy is 34mpg.
Maybe with more experience it will come up.

Welcome to NAM!

Good Look'n Mini you got there! Over time you will get used to the clutch, as for millage it's probably the excitement of driving that is causing the low millage. Buckey gets about 34.

Congrats on the new wheels. Enjoy.

I set the cruise on 71mph and got an avg of 37.6 on the way home from work today, whoot! (premium 92 petro, 6-spd MT).

Seriously. You can run your VIN number on your car to see what options are on the car. It should tell you about the differential.
