My mini seems to be going through more fuel then what it should.
At least 10L per 100k's.... prob a tad more. Does this sound about right or should it be better then this. The 20L tank probably don't help either when it's a 30km drive to work haha :( .

I get better than that with my warm 1275. It probably just needs new plugs/leads and a good tune.

Hmm

the size of the tank , i cannot really see how it affects fuel economy :P

I get less than 22 mpg (gallon = 4.5 L, maybe that is right)
So you've got a good one :!: :P

I reckon unleaded fuel now has so much solvents etc in it that it evaporates even if you don't drive it! :evil: or while you're driving...
