Maintain Your MINI
Optimal fuel efficiency begins with proper MINI maintenance. Every vehicle is at its most fuel-efficient when it's in excellent shape, and our Service Centre can help you maintain your MINI according to its recommended service schedule.
Stick to the Speed Limit
The more your engine needs to work, the more gas it needs. We suggest sticking to the speed limit as much as you can, so your MINI won't waste gas when reaching excessive speeds.
Don't Accelerate too Quickly
Abrupt revving and acceleration can do a number on your gas tank, especially if you're traveling through an area with many stop signs and lights in quick succession. By going easy on your pedals, you'll ensure that your MINI isn't burning more fuel than it needs to.
Check Your Tire Pressure
Your tire pressure is just as integral to your MINI's fuel economy as its maintenance and your driving habits. We recommend checking your tire pressure around once a month to help preserve your vehicle's performance, safety, and efficiency.
Keep Your Windows Closed
Aerodynamic performance enhances fuel efficiency, but driving with the windows down can tarnish both. If you're hitting the highway on a windy day, you can enhance your fuel economy and maintain your MINI's stability by keeping your windows closed, and if you're cruising on a lovely day, going easy on the A/C will help with your fuel economy as well.
Avoid Carrying Excess Weight
Simply put, your powertrain works harder and consumes more fuel with the more weight it carries. Therefore, we suggest ridding your MINI of any cargo or objects you don't immediately need. Your wallet and gas tank will both be grateful for it.
