My 11 Coutryman S is great on fuel consumption. It is
not the All 4 and I do drive it in Sport mode frequently,
hard. I get between 340 - 420 miles per tank. You
mileage will be lower with the basic model and the All
4. The mileage does improve over time. Mine actually
went up an average of 2 mpg with my new Michelin
Primacy's on our stock 18" wheels! You can also change
your air filter over to a K&N while running premium
rather than mid-grade. I imagine that with a 40+ mile
commute, there is plenty of highway driving. Stop & go
will deplete you fuel economy drastically until BMW
installs the auto stop/start feature in our Mini's. Let me
know if you have any questions.
