R55 How good is your Clubman's MPG?
#26
Hmmmm....that's odd from what I have read....City driving can take a toll depending on just how stop and go your traffic is.
Couple of things you can check....Tire Pressure make sure it is correct. Air conditioning typically can take about 10% to 15% off of MPG depending on the car and conditions.
I honestly haven't heard of a clubbie with that low of an MPG.

I drove 2275 miles round trip PA to Florida. Two people and a dog. Drove between 65 and 75 mph with AC on. Computer showed 34.8 mpg, 54.6 mph avg. I find it to be within +/- 1mpg if I do the calculations manually. I have been on trips with the AC off and driving slower and getting closer to 42mpg.

Oh yeaaaah!!!! Now you made me happy. I was thinking that I bought some kind of dark silver lemon I live in Los Angeles too (Venice), and my trips are pretty short and on the city streets too. I just looked at the computer today, and at 4280 miles, my average speed is 19.8 mph. I wonder how that correlates to the mileage... you people with high MPGs, what is your average speed? Also, I do like to have my SPORT button on :-)

DING DING DING!!!! Thassokay Lion(esse)...we all do from time to time! I haven't checked the computer in ages...I'm afraid it will say 80+ something, and the chippies will write me a ticket for all the times they don't know about!

SPORT button rules! But my MPGs are the same without or with the button... only the last few months I've been using it all the time, so I have good data to compare. In the beginning I was not using it at all. Mileage is the same, 23-34 mpg.

Despite buying Pelle for the gas mileage initially, I haven't been paying attention at all. Today, I checked and was surprised to see 39 mpg average, and average speed 54.2 mph. Don't know how that compares to anyone else...perhaps 'we' should prep a googledoc spreadsheet with all these exciting parameters, so we can fill'em in and amuse ourselves even more!

Deano does about 27mpg on my standard drive to work. It's not too surprising though as it's 12k of driving from red to red to red before I get to the office. On the drive to Seattle (500km of highway) i got about 39mpg.
Not overly worried as it's a nasty drive in constant traffic and I do 'enjoy' driving the S

Update
2009 MCCm, 5000 miles on odometer, 92 octane BP, 500 lbs of people, 55 mph most of the time, AC on all the time = 43.4 mpg.

Mixed driving to work - 33 mpg.
The few highway trips I've taken - 36 mpg.

I get slightly (not statistically) better gas mileage with the sport button on. I think it's due to how difficult it is for me to get enough gas and not pop the clutch from stars without the sport button. I find the car easier to drive with it on.

I've driven our Clubman ~33,000 miles in ~9 months of driving. Most of the driving is mixed city/country. We regulary average 35-36 mpg when we drive 70-80 mph. a trip this weekend with four of us in the car was 31 mpg with speeds between 85-95 (good traffic day). I find the clubman's mpg very impacted by the averagge speed.

Those numbers are very low for a "justa". What roads are you driving north of Boston and at what time of day. I mean I do some (not a lot) of traveling out that area and during rush hour and have never had that low a mileage on my S.
