You want to forget a remap if fuel consumption is your problem.....the lease co wanted to charge me 20 euro extra each month...despite all the claims that it runs cheaper... :smiley:

I must admit that fuel when driving fast is costly... :lipsrsealed:

I can live with my present situation and that is an understatement... :cool:

Agreed. The GTI is ok on fuel when driven normally, but floor a remapped car and mileage goes through the roof :embarassed: If you want to get really depressed, Erik, try putting the MFD on instant consumption and then flooring it: it maxes out at 49.9 l/100km (4.5 mpg)  :laugh:

Nope still not.....BUT the old GTI MK V brought me as an average once every two weeks on a friday to the gasstation....the MK VI gets me there quicker in every sence of the word.......even without a gauge you can do the math..... :laugh:

BTW
I have a lease company who seems to scrutinize my fuel gauge for me.... :lipsrsealed:
