Does the 2015 MINI Cooper (5-doors) need premium gas?
Every gas trim of this model takes premium.
| Trim (engine / transmission) | Fuel | MPG | Fuel/yr |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.5L 3-cyl, 6-spd manual, FWD | PREMIUM | 32 | $2,400 |
| 1.5L 3-cyl, S6 automatic, FWD | PREMIUM | 31 | $2,500 |
The EPA records the fuel each version was tested on. Whether premium is strictly required or just recommended is an owner's-manual detail the EPA dataset doesn't include — so we don't guess it.
