Cooper: 29 mpg city, 37 mpg highway (manual); 28 mpg city, 36 mpg highway (automatic)
Cooper S: 27 mpg city, 35 mpg highway (manual); 26 mpg city, 34 mpg highway (automatic)

Edmunds
The Cooper S is also good on the gas mileage, at 27/35 mpg with the manual and 26/34 mpg with the automatic. The John Cooper Works, the most powerful model in the range, rates 25 mpg city and 33 mpg highway.
Conclusion
Despite its sporty performance and cute appearance, the 2012 MINI Cooper is also an efficient little hatchback--though green-minded buyers will prefer the Cooper S to the JCW.
