I suspect most of it is down to a heavier right foot to be honest  :evilgrin:

I was impressed with a 37mpg run I did, sat at just under 70 on cruise up the A3 and round the M25, but some of these figures are damn impressive (not you IFTI thats cheating  :wink:) think this thread would be even better if for people who dont know each others cars intimately, that people included a quick detail on mods, to know if standard etc. 

As im thinking about the possability of a remap and much easier to justify to the missus if you can get more from a tank  :happy2:

mines completely standard
