i drive to work daily in the mini... about 30 - 35km round trip with 1 foot to the floor steep hill on the way.
And might do 1 or 2 other trips or deviations to my norm each week

I dont specifically keep track of it but i fill up every 5 or 6 working days so travel about 200 - 250km between fill ups and put maybe 16-20 liters in each time

So my numbers would match yours pretty well.
Mine is a bog standard 998 by the way.

There is an app you can put on your Android or other type to track economy.

I take a photo of my k's and the receipt and from time to time stick it in a spreadsheet.

I haven't done it recently so it would be interesting to see how things have changed since the carby was done and also since we took the stupid rich needle out...

I drove mine to work for a week (70km return) and got 7.2L/100km average. I only have the single small tank, so I filled up a couple of times that week!

It's a standard deluxe 998, at least 50% of the trip is in a 100kph zone too, the rest is 50/60/70

I've been getting shy of 9l/100km out of my 998 over the last few weeks. But it needs a good tune and a wheel alignment - hopefully that will improve things.

My Hairy lime mini which has a 1380cc with HIF44 . 104 cam and very slightly worked head, extarctors electronic ignition, and fitted with 3.1 diff ratio does 15.6 Km to the litre. Which is 6.4 ltr to 100 KM. I love this car.

My little ratvan with a 60thou bored 1100 and ported head running a hif38 does about 9l to 100km.

Mind you it only has 2 throttle posistions on and off....

My 1310A+ which I've just converted back from EFI to HIF44, is getting 6.3l/100k (44.8MPG) this was over 332k's 200 using it locally and some highway and the rest with my son driving on his L plates. Very happy, as my Renault Clio only gets 6.6l/100k over the same routes.

The engine has Metro standard cam 1.5 rockers, LCB, MG Metro Turbo head and still running the MegaSquirt ECU, but only ignition.

I'm a nerd who likes number crunching (its my job), so I track all our cars whenever I fill them.
Our 87 Rover mini 998cc averages 8.3lt/100 (spirited peak hour melbourne driving lately)
Our 88 Rover mini 1275 spi averages 9l/100 (always ran rich so I've just accepted that and try to remain happy that it actually runs)
Our 63 Morris 850 (stock standard 850) averages 7.5l/100 which is only weekend cruising.

All are heavier on the juice that my suzuki swift which averages 6.9l/100.

Its about 7.1 litres per 100 klm
1 x mpg = .354005 klm per litre and then you have to convert to litres used per 100 klm
cheers
