Well done for getting some definitive results!
Sadly not what we were looking for........

Still pretty sure mine has a bit better pick up and smoother tickover, but was that just the result of an Italian Tune Up?

I'm more inclined to believe your readout than my subjective seat of pants!  :grin:

haha, tis a shame as i was quite confident it would make a little difference but computer says no! After a good 5 hour blast the other day my engine feels much smoother and quieter on tickover and even further up the revs so i would definitely reccomend that. Unfortunately after doing both tests i reset the fuel trims so not had chance to see if the mpg has gone up or not yet but will keep a close eye on it and report back over the next few days
