Looking into what engins are the most ecomomical in Minis for average everyday use.
My '69 Elf 998 was good for 35mpg
My 1275 fast road will deliver 45mpg reguarly
After some googling it appears
SPi will average about 35mpg and MPi about 45
PLEASE DO NOT POST WHAT YOUR CAR DOES TO A TANK UNLESS YOU BRIM IT AND RUN IT DRY.
Minis come with different size tanks and empty on some fuel gauges read empty from anything up to 3/4 full.

Re: MILES PER GALLON
My Spi , filled to the brim to the point where it started to chug did 38.73 mpg last year. 230 miles on 27 litres. Worked out at 17.5 cent a mile @ roughly 1.49 a litre.
*edit......that was motorway driving to Dublin and then about 6 hours of city traffic, before heading back down the motorway towards limerick.

And I said, Officer, I didn't want to be drunk in public...I wanna be drunk in the bar. Now last time I checked it was still legal to be drunk in the bar. They threw me into public...arrest them!

Re: MILES PER GALLON
i can get about 30 - 35 if I'm being careful
