Damn nice car, though. The wheel gaps between the MINI and the SE are HUGE!!! The mini has like a 1 inch gap between the wheels where the SE has like 4 or 5 LOL!
 
thank you all. I have been meaning to post pics however Jon beat me to it. Thank you jon that is a good pic. I will still be around.

The car: 06 Mini Cooper S, 6-speed MTX, just about every option on it. 32K on the clock and counting. already put 2K on it in just a few weeks. adopted 9/18/09. wanted one since 02 when they first came to the states. My dad had 3 mini classics at my age so I found it fitting that I have one as well.
 
I get about 28-30mpgs city/highway and about 33-34 all highway but i am pretty sure i can do a lot better. the numbers go really high if i am easy on it :) You are correct though. if i am bad i can get it down to 10 mpgs lol I do have the worst rated mini there is only rated at 25city 32highway. I find it funny that the Gov rates it at 22/29 now but I easily get 28-30 if I am good. It is really the boxy design that makes it bad. If you put this little chrysler engine in a contour it would go like stink and get awesomely great mileage. one way or another I am extremely happy with it. It is a blast to drive!

I would say that's really good! My turbo Jetta only averaged 24-25 in the suburbs. 10 isn't bad! I can get 2 if I try! Good luck with it. :cool:
