TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Mini Clubman

Mini Clubman Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2016	EPA ratings for the two cars are nearly identical. When fitted with manual transmissions, the Mini is rated 25/34, the Volkswagen 25/35. With automatics, each does the same in the city and one mpg lower on the highway. I tended to see slightly higher trip computer averages in the Mini, but I never observed the 40 I managed on one suburban trip in the tested VW (which had an automatic transmission). Still, the Clubman (which had a manual transmission) did achieve 38 mpg on both a suburban drive to and from the library and on a highway run from the airport. Even when I drove the Clubman in a spirited fashion the trip computer average remained above 30, while the Golf SportWagen's average tended to dip below that mark when pressed. The lesser payoff from revving the Mini's engine (more about this later) could have played a role. see full Mini Clubman review

Mini Clubman Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	3dr Wagon turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Very surprised at how well the car sips gasoline. From an agressive driving style (myself) to a more passive driving style (wife) we still consistently get 34 MPG and that is traveling in a 50/50 mix city/hwy with speeds 10-15% greater than posted. see full Mini Clubman review
2008	3dr Wagon turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Fantastic fuel economy, (but remember, it's premium gas). I could really drive heavy footed and not lose out on over 32+ MPG. Filling up the tank wasn't a task I had to do very often at all, and fumes got me a long way. see full Mini Clubman review
2008	3dr Wagon 118-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD	So far, the gas milage is 37.4 MPG overall. see full Mini Clubman review

Honda Element Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD	For a teenager that does lots of driving for parttime job and to school, needed a vehicel that was large enough to be safe in traffic, yet give good gas mileage. see full Honda Element review

Honda Element Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Sure wish I could get 30 MPG in this thing instead of 20 (though I have gotten 26 on long trips as long as I don't let my wife drive) see full Honda Element review
2005	4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual AWD	This is my only major gripe with the vehicle... I seem to get a consistent 22mpg, whether it is city driving, long flat highways, or mountains. If I go out of my way to drive conservatively, or use a medium-to-heavy foot with the aid conditioner, the difference is completely negligible... it's pretty much always 22mpg. see full Honda Element review
2004	4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD	20 mpg city, 24 mpg hiway, low for such a small, lightweight car. see full Honda Element review
2004	4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Wish it got better fuel economy, but what do you expect for a brick? see full Honda Element review
2003	4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual AWD	I always get exactly 20 mpg, which seams low see full Honda Element review
2003	4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD	It stinks! The EX is a bit heavy which drags the MPG to 21/25. see full Honda Element review
