What is the average fuel consumption of a BMW Mini?
2 Answers
BMW Mini has an average fuel consumption of 7.2 liters per 100 kilometers. The specific fuel consumption may vary due to factors such as road conditions and vehicle weight. Methods for calculating fuel consumption: By measuring the amount of fuel added in one refill and recording the distance traveled, the vehicle's fuel consumption can be calculated. The fuel consumption obtained through these two methods represents the average fuel consumption of the vehicle. Methods to save fuel: When driving in the city, traffic jams are common, so experienced drivers often plan their routes in advance to avoid congested areas. Reducing frequent starts and stops, and maintaining an economical speed can effectively save fuel.
I've been driving this BMW Mini Cooper for almost three years now, the 1.5T three-cylinder version. The fuel consumption is surprisingly high in city traffic, with the display often hovering between 9 to 10 liters. On the highway, it's quite a pleasant surprise though—cruising at 120 km/h with the air conditioning on, it only consumes just over 6 liters. However, the Mini has a small fuel tank, just over 40 liters, so I always have to keep an eye out for gas stations on long trips. Last week, I specifically tested it on mixed road conditions: 280 kilometers used 25 liters of fuel, which works out to about 8.9 liters per 100 kilometers. And if it's summer with the air conditioning on while driving around downtown, it easily exceeds 11 liters—believe it or not! So, if you're thinking of buying this car, don't just go for its cute looks; you need to be mentally prepared for the fuel consumption.
