Now then sure u all heard me moaning about sh!t mpg and running 18'' rims
Anyway today i did a 340mile round trip average speed between 75-80mph and i got 53mpg!!!! thats with the 18s on so i think the r tech remap does greatly improve the mpg prior to this it was around 46-47mpg!!!!!
Once i service it and change the bits it shud improve a bit more but i think there is a real difference as before even at a constant 70mph i was only getting around 47 ata push and now its back up to around 53mpg....
still be putting ma 15's on a for a bit though anyway so it shud go even higher!

Don't forget the engine when the engine is warm it's more efficient

The remap you had on there before was fuel dependent to make the power, About 20% block off extra fuel request on the drivers wish from 45 to 100% load with out any added rail pressure didnt help the mpg. now you looking at a 4% to 12% added fuel on a gradual plane, raised rail pressure, higher torque limiters, more boost to keep the smoke away and the power up..lol If you nail it the mpg will go right down...

I aint gonna be bothered about mpg to much really if you want the power you gotta except the fact that it will use more fuel. But an increase in mpg when driving sensibly is a bonus not that you aint gonna be flooring it loads once the remap has been done. :cool:

mpg is for treehuggers and hippies, usually seen in a Prius.

You're joking right? MPG aint great and cost to the environment over the life of the vehicle (inc build and disposal) makes it terrible..

i can get 45mpg in my 1.8 t if i do 60mph for about 20 miles non stop, done it going to southend once with two people in it lol. Never again tho lol, avarage 28-32 usually.
-
Wow 45MPG ? :wink:
My 1.8T dash says an average of 37-38 on my A Road/M25 commute to work (if I drive nicely) but when I've worked it out properly it only seems to do just under 30 in reality.
-
Me and my dad got 41.8 mpg in my 1.8t after I brought it and he was driving back and that was at 70mph. I normally get about 30mpg cure that will change after the remap. :smiley:
