i do indeed - lets say its quick - just ask Rich, Bob, Ivor and Steve of what they thought  :wink:

also ask Max GTI who owns an Anni - he was surprised at how well mine went at the top end  :cool:

also returned 58mpg on the way home from Swindon too and on my way to work i see above 55mpg - thats since having the R-Tech map  :cool:
