My friend recently bought a mini Cooper and he is not sure if this type of car requires premium gas to perform better or if regular gas is alright. Does anyone know for sure? Thanks for your answers!|||All modern Mini's require premium gas.
The standard Cooper has a high compression engine, which requires it.
The Cooper S uses forced induction (turbo or supercharger) and required it.
Putting regular in a Mini will cause you to use MORE gas, which defeats the purpose. The car's computer will retard the timing (pushing it out of tune) to prevent knocking on regular gas. That will consume MORE gas.
It's not a performance question really.
A tank of premium will only cost about a dollar more in total, at the pump.|||recommended and required is premium gas.
Regular or midgrade gas would void the warranty when the car breaks down.|||Read the owners manual. It will say for sure. It will be under specs %26amp; capacities. |||gas-X|||midgrade

Where can I find a cheap mini bar in San Diego?
I don't have a lot of space in my living room so a mini bar would be perfect. Just to give an idea on the kind of mii bar I'm looking for, it would have cabinets opening from the front and possibly even have a top that opens to reveal stuff. Or if you know any plans for a mini bar that might help too. Any advice would help, thanks.|||Your best bet is to order online. Here are some sites that you might like:

What is the difference between a wet bar and a mini-bar?
I need to know for my honeymoon. There's a hotel room with a wet bar, and in the item description it says mini-bar. Is there a difference?|||a wet bar is a complete bar with sink.. a mini bar is a small fridge with small drinks and snacks..|||Well, generally a wet bar has a sink and running water while a mini-bar does not.|||a wet bar has soda and beer spouts, and the fixin's for the drinks. a mini bar is just as stated mini, just the basics, no fountian, no fixin's[olives, cherries,lemon,etc]|||A wet bar is one with a sink, the mini bar is a lockable cabinet with the booze in it. Take it from experience, avoid the mini bar, it's waaaaaaaaaaaay over priced. Buy your favorite mixings and bring it with you or go to the hotel bar. You'll thank your wallet later.|||Technically a wet bar has a small sink and counter top area, a Mini bar is usually just a dorm fridge with drinks and drink supplies, some will have glasses also, the mini bottles of alcohol can run upwards of 5$ and even up to 10$. (the bottles of water can even be 6$ each) the mini bar bill can easily be more than the room cost, so avoid everythign over there, unless you have confirmation that it is free to use.
best bet, bring your own drinks and maybe a couple glasses if they dont have free ones for you to use.
a side note: Just because they say there is a Wet bar or Mini bar does not mean it is stocked with alcohol, check before check in.

What is the best monitor to get for a Mac mini, especially for picture quality?
Have just bought the latest 2009 Mac mini and tried several PC W/S monitors 19" - 22" with horrible picture quality, Samsung, Acer and Philips being the worst. Apple displays are just too expensive! Any help would be Great!|||Try Dell.|||Check out the monitor I'm using with my Mac Mini: http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f347/a鈥?/a>
It's connected with the Mac Mini using a DVI-to-HDMI cable, displaying 1920x1080 resolution, aka 1080p High Definition. The picture and text is razor sharp. I can't imagine using my Mac Mini with any other display. :-)
(I'm using the Mac Mini as a media extender on my home network, and that particular display is a Sony Bravia 52" LCD HDTV.)

What kind of boots should I wear with a black mini dress and black tights?
I have a cute, simple black mini dress that I want to wear with black tights. Unfortunately, I hardly ever wear dresses so I'm really confused as to what kind of boots go well with them (I know what kind of regular shoes would work, but it's way too cold for those! I need boots!)
Any suggestions would be appreciated! I seriously have no idea where to start looking. Thank you!|||Wear heels
- They will show your legs to be long
But as you want boots go for

How reliable are Mini Coopers and, do they make any with standard transitions?
I am thinking about buying a Mini Cooper but I don't know much about them. Are they good cars?|||Their reliability is average. Better than American cars and Mercedes. Not nearly as good as Japanese cars. About the same as Korean cars.
They are expensive to maintain since they are made by BMW and Mini is a British brand.
They can come in standard transmission if you want it like that.
About 90% of all cars made come in both automatic and manual transmissions.
Only cars like Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, and Some Porsche's like the GT2 and GT3 and some specialty cars like the Audi RS4 Super Sports Sedan only come in Manual.
And Mercedes only comes in automatic.|||Dude, BMW is german
|||FYI, Mini cooper made the top 10 list of the "greenest cars". Very environmentally friendly
I don't like to expensive repair cost of european cars but the Mini is an excellent choice if money is not a huge concern for you. As far as reliability... it's hard to get a good report anymore. MSN autos does not have any reliability ratings up for this car. I like epinions.com to get real world opinions from people on cars like I'm looking at.

That link will take you to some reviews on the 2002 cooper.
P.S. There is also a new version of the cooper called the Cooper Clubman. It's bigger in case you like the Mini style but want something bigger. It's more of a wagon style though.|||very good cars. they are fairly cheap and the transmission come in both automatic and manual. mini cooper is made by BMW so they're both German and with good build quality and very reliable. just buy it!

When taking a Mini Bus Test, Should i use a bus lane if its in operational hours?
I am unsure if a driving test examiner will expect me to use a bus lane (if i come across one) during its operational times during my forthcoming mini bus test (16 seat vehicle) or, if indeed this vehicle type is allowed in there at those times. Any help appreciated.|||It's been 7 years since I took a minibus test, but at that time it was certainly OK to use a bus lane.

EDIT: Apologies that I couldn't try to help with your question, without attracting the moron element and their 'little jokes'.
Once again, Redmonk displays the 'chip on his shoulder' about anyone with an education.
In schools, it's useful for as many people as possible, from headteacher to caretaker to have a minibus qualification.
But since a prerequsite for the minibus test is to be able to remove your head from your own backside, to be able to see through the windscreen, this might make life difficult for Redmonk.
MORE EDIT: Was that your best response?? Pitiful!|||So at last we find out what Sceptic does for a living, well he said he worked in the public sector but we didn't believe him did we?, now we find out he is a mini bus driver for schools (he said he was in education in a previous question) 'bly me' I didn't know you needed a physics degree for that.
Hey, Scep now that its out don't start getting depressed.
Oh! after hearing Sceps heart opening up to you, I forgot that you had actually asked a question. Scep is right (not that I really know the answer to your question) but because he takes his job as a mini bus driver seriously. I mean would you go and get your self a physics degree to be a bus driver. Man that's dedication for you.
