A few of you mentioned that obviously fuel consumption goes down and a few up? What figures are we looking at with a few 'daft drives' during a full tank.
Wheres the best place to have it done in the Midlands (i'm in Derby)
Anymore experiences (Good or bad)
Cheers

My current STD ED30 showed 364 miles on a tank full this weekend on a round trip to manchester to see family/friends, that was half A road driving (mainly 60mph limits and lots of overtaking wagons crawling along at 40mph to get their maximum hours in  :fighting:) and half Motorway (cruising at speedo indicated 80mph, GPS 72mph).

I read on another post that a guy on stage 1 was still getting around 330 miles to a tank and another one saying on a long motorway cruise he still got 350.

Awesome GTI manchester is where my brother had his MK5 GTI re-mapped, dont think its too far from derby?, dont ask me what power he has tho as he does not believe ANY dyno readings  :grin:

Another downside to having your car mapped is having to put up with seeing annoyed/frustrated faces in the rear view mirrors of BMW M3's  :P

If you want a Revo map you can check the nearest dealer on Revo's website if you don't fancy the trip to Awesome.

TBH the map is going to be the same wherever you get it done, just a question of whether you want it dyno'd at the same time.

When I eventually get my Mk5 (need to locate one first!), a Revo Stage 1 map is top of the list!   :driver:
