I average a bit over 25 mpg with my TC. I thought it interesting to compare the EPA estimates of my Gen1 TC with the FRS and two other vehicles.

i can tell ya the numbers on the mini coopers are way off. my dad has a new cooper S and gets over 40 on the highway and a combined city/highway of nothing less then 35. i dont know how he does it cause he floors that thing all the time. i would say it just a freak cooper s, but he has owned 3 different ones and got the same with all of them, even one that was an automatic.

 

That's outstanding, Josiah. The highway EPA estimate for the N/A Cooper is 37 mpg. Maybe your dad has figured out routes that are downhill in both directions? I guess if there a lemons there are also diamonds and pearls.

 

i usually average 28mpg out of my 1st gen tc. that's city stop and go driving too. when i drove from vista to joshuatree, ca i was getting 34mpg on the highway. i'm in need of an oil change too.
