[Spridgets] New Mini Roadster

[Macy Larry]

I have an 09 Clubman S, with the turbo. I get 27 - 29 mpg around town. I hope Frankie and Phil are not reading this, but I got upwards of 42 mpg on the way to Wisconsin when we were traveling about 60ish. That dropped to 34 when I was trying to catch up after getting a fan belt. And that is all with the air on.
