Your figures are approximately what mine would be. I'd put 20 - 23 litres per 200 miles into a 1.3 2000 Mini Se7en. That is 50/50 Motorway, city driving.

i spent 40euro on petrol the first two days when i got the car.... but i did a lot of short spins around town...

jono, i only got mine a few months ago and trust me, the guagues are crap for starters

best way to judge it is just fill the puppy up, that will cost about €30, give or take, make sure you take the nozzle out and fill it to the brim, to make sure its full, because our tanks are so small, the pumps click at about €20, so you gotta look at how much you`re putting in for the rest

but city driving does take alot more than long spins

Don't fill it to the brim, it will only pi** out when you drive, fill it to the start of the neck of the tank.
