Mini is fitting every car in its range with stop-start technology that switches off the engine when the vehicle is stationary, and an alternator that charges the battery during braking. Cars fitted with manual gearboxes will also be fitted with a display that tells the driver the best gear to use for optimum economy.The additions will come at no extra cost and have no impact on top speed or acceleration figures. They improve fuel consumption by 6.9% on the Cooper, 10.3% on the Cooper S. – What Car?
