Diesel Mini?
What's the point?

UK Specs: MINI Cooper 0-62 in 9.1 secs 52.3MPG combined MINI Cooper D 0-62 in 9.7secs 74.3MPG combined On the road price (including taxes) the Diesel is £1,280 more than the petrol Cooper. Real world, we get about 35mpg-US with our Cooper. If we had a Cooper D we'd get about 50mpg-US. Current price for premium is just over $8.00/gal-US. Filling up your e34 would cost about $140. Is that diesel starting to look attractive? The Cooper D is also exempt from road tax. Last edited by Andrew*Debbie; 01-13-2011 at 08:12 AM.
