MINI Countryman JCW – Does having fun cost you more ?

Is there truly a big distinction in performance between Go Kart Feel (Sport Mode) and Effective Mode. I did a 500 mile round trip to learn.

    Contrarily when I owned a Cupra 290 a handful of years ago I got higher mpg in Sport than Comfort mode. On a longish run into the mid to high 40s in Sport and low 40s in Comfort.

    … on a side note it was good to hear you mention Martyn Ashton, him and Martin Hawyes were/are legends of the trials scene. Sadly we lost another 90s mtb icon a couple of weeks back, ‘Jumpin’ Jez Avery who likely inspired both Ashton and Hawyes.

    Saw DL in Sheffield about 25 years ago! Although the most impressive thing was in the interval when a guy went round most of the same course on a BMX!!

    I am running the same car and decided to use green mode for a motorway journey from Hampshire to Kent last Friday and averaged 45.4mpg! Totally agree that off the motorway I would not use green mode. I also went into the settings and turned off the drivetrain setting in go kart mode so that I could have the throttle response without the car permanently two gears lower than it should be.

    That is impressive MPG from a JCW. I drove a 300 mile round trip to Aberdeen and back from Glasgow in my Mazda 3 SkyActive X AWD the other day and got just shy of 40mpg which I thought for a petrol car was good enough. I kind of remember back 50 years ago when my mum drove a pretty basic Mini she was happy to get 30mpg so things have improved over the decades. The Trials content was just brilliant for a guy who remembers Kick Start on the television way back in the day. What they can do on a motorbike is just bonkers. I could never have imagined let alone done any of that when I had a trails bike in my youth but I would have loved to try. It was Motocross that my pals with bikes progressed to not trials so I never did try but I did ride as close to a works Kawasaki Motocross bike and it was really fast and would give a lot of plough’s in a grass field a run for their money turning the earth and creating a trench on take off..

    Love indoor trials, it’s awesome. Regarding the MPG might as well leave it in the stupidly named Go Cart mode and have fun for the difference it makes. Life’s too short and it isn’t bad anyway for a car like that.

    Pete. Interesting comparison. Have to say though, that my XC90 T8 also has a 4-cylinder 300bhp up front, 80bhp electric motor and just a smidge bigger than the JCW and I am getting 36mpg at 70mph on the motorway. I charge it every other day and am averaging mid 40’s on combined petrol/electric driving.

    I did a not very scientific test in my Cooper S a few months ago, as I was interested it what the difference was, especially when green mode would often say it has added a whole 3 miles to the range!

    I didn’t change the way I drove in each mode and tried to keep consistent. Total includes whatever range the Mini said I had left over when I filled up. I reset the mpg at each fill up.

    Green – 405 miles – 42.8mpg
    Mid – 384 miles – 49.2mpg
    Sport – 345 miles – 36.8mpg

    So for me and my style of driving, green makes quite a bit of a difference.

    Edit: corrected the mid total distance.

    I rode trials with Dougie back in Scotland when I was 15 16yrs old. 53 now and still ride adventure bikes. His skills and the other lads are outstanding 👏 👌. No drinking coffee when driving now sir 🙄😉

    Shame you didn’t bring a bike of yours to have a try on that lovely circuit. Seriously. How dare they even get on these obstacles, Amazing! Thanks again for this scientific test and the lovely video. Cheers!

    Awesome video mate. Interesting the difference is only 2mg over 220 miles of driving. May aswell drive the car how you want to and enjoy it.

    Ive got the first gen of that B48 engine in my 2016 230i, but longitudinal mounted and rear wheel drive. Manual so gearing in 6th is a bit low on the motorway cruise. 248bhp stock but now mapped to 300. Quite easily gets low 40’s mpg on a long motorway trip at 70mph. Low 30’s driven fairly hard on B roads. Once saw 55 mpg for a 30 mile motorway journey with a big 50mph average speed section and following lorries for the rest of it!
