Default Mini S Gas Mileage

I've measured the mileage twice on the '08 S I just bought and both times, I'm getting around 18-20 MPG ... is that what I can expect from it?

I really thought it would be much better than that???

Might be a little low - I believe the standard is 25MPG in the city?. Have you noticed it dropping lately? What's your commute like?

Tks for the feedback ... since I just bought it, I have no base of reference. I figured it might be a bit lower than I expected, since it's an S and it seems to run at a bit higher revs ???

I'm pretty sure it's stock or the Salesman where I bought it would have probably 'hyped' any extras ...

Any receipts or records of when the MAF or O2 sensors were last replaced?

No receipts for that ... do you think that could materially effect the mileage?

Well we've seen pre-cat O2 sensors acting up and causing a number of issues in addition to poor MPG, such as a rough idle...if you know someone with a scanner, use it to pull any codes that might be stored but not lighting up the EML light.
