i believe i put in $28+ just this past tuesday. no computer, but my mini odo for this tank read 325 miles. that's for a jcw with some xtras in hawaii. filled up at costco too. with the receipt reading ~12.8 gallons? i was sure i was running on fumes, but guess there were a few more drops left in the tank.

In my local paper this morning, (South Bend Tribune), in the business section is an article about fuel economy which lists the MINI Cooper 5 speed as one of the best!
The article is by Dee-Ann Durbin of the Associated Press.
According to to the article:
Highest fuel economy two seater: Honda Insight
Highest fuel economy minicompact car: Mini Cooper 5- speed
Highest fuel economy compact car: Honda Civic Hybred
Highest fuel economy midsize car: Toyota Prius
Now, she misspelled MINI as Mini and might have created a category just for us, "minicompact", but it's good to be recognized for the smart buyers we are!
Godspeed.

I think I've been close to $30 before when I could not find a cheap station to go to.
Agro, I too have been way over the alleged 13.2 capacity of the tank. You must have been really low but I think they also must have fudged the capacity a little since it seems impossible to put in a half gallon in the fuel filler and that assumes there was absolutely nothing in the actual tank.

I just put 13.97 gallons in and the OBC said range was 2 miles. That was too close for comfort . Price was $2.49 but can't remember the total. My F-150 is always over $50 so I'm used to regular gas beatings. It also gets about 15 mpg so I'm not overly concerned with the mid 20's I've been getting in the S, but I've been driving him for fun and not fuel economy.
