Which part of BECAUSE OF OTHER TRAFFIC don't you understand?

The Peugeot could go up that road so fast it changed colour, but not at quarter to nine in the morning.

On a single-carriageway road with traffic coming the other way?

Thanks, but I prefer to go on breathing.

(That road has quite a high incidence of accidents, some very nasty, as a result of incautious overtaking.  Not much point having a new car if you write it off - and yourself while you're at it.)

I'm actually not getting as good fuel consumption as I was anticipating, overall, as yet. 

I have to admit that I'm not, either. I was reading a test of the GTI this morning on an online Swiss motoring magazine and the guy was saying that the on-board computer is very optimistic. During his test it reported an average of 9 litres/100km (31 mpg), but he measured actual consumption as closer to 13 (21 mpg). I have done nearly 2000 miles now, but have to make quite an effort to keep the average figure down to around 8 l/100km (35 mpg).

Since my remap at the weekend, I have been driving around pretty gingerly to avoid anything snapping :wink: I just went out on a nearby motorway and selected the instant fuel consumption setting on the MFD. At 70-80 mph, it was hovering around 35-40 mpg, but then I put my foot down as far as it would go... I got to about 115 mph (for a few seconds only and the road was deserted). OK, the pick-up was very good, but during the acceleration consumption went up to 5 (yes, FIVE!) mpg (50 litres/100km) and refused to go any further.

I think I maxxed out the computer. Does this happen on the stock car (I should have tried before I got mine done, but I didn't). 5 mpg is terrible :sad:

why would you not have tested out this before and after the remap? would have saved you from looking like such an idiot.
