Yeah I got something like that (think it was 43-44mpg) but then for the last 10-15 mins of the journey I got fed up and hit the pedal. The mpg dropped to below 30mpg for the entire journey!

Average I get is around 32-34mpg - and that's a mixture of road legal driving on the motorway coupled with  long periods of 100-120 mph.  :wink:

80% of my driving is in rural areas around town.
10% is sensible motorway driving ( 80-90mph )
10% is a bit of fun sometimes.

I average 31.5mpg

I've done just over 500 miles in my since buying at the start of October. I'm averaging 30.8mpg but most of this is on journeys of 10 - 15 miles. I'm using Shell V-Power not cheap nasty ordinary stuff.

Do remaps effect MPG at all? Providing you are not using your extra power to move through the gears quickly?
If I were to do a 15 mile journey at 30/40mph, would it be any different with the remap?

I normally see 38mpg ish on long rush hour motorway journeys. e,g, Leicester to Staines - that is going to work (who rushes to work) but low 30's mpg going home  :smiley:
