stage 1 mod, does fuel consumption go up?

(1/5) > >>

Homer:
Hi all, if I get this mod will fuel consumption go up? Thanks

Janner_Sy:
at first yes, purely as you start driving like a loon due to the smile you get when you boot it.  However driven sensibly my mpg improved by 2-3mpg

Bernhard30:
Yes I think you'll find after a Stage 1 map, you will burn some more juice, purely given the addictive thrust of a Stg1 car.
Goodness only knows how many times I've had to take the long way home recently. Car was mapped in December.
My Ed30 with Autotech high flow fuel pump, Dbilas Induction kit and Milltek downpipe/catalyst with a stage 1 Revo map is just fab. Good fun too..

RedRobin:

Surely you're not thinking of getting this mod to improve your mpg  :confused:

Good luck with that! It ain't gonna significantly happen.

Poppa Dom:
How long is a piece of string? It all depends how you drive it. If you are being frugal then it will return a 2-3 mpg gain over standard, start booting it around all over the place and you will see lower fuel economy than standard.
