Could i ask those who are running a stage 2 + what are you getting MPG wise, i put in 20 pounds worth of V -power and i got a shocking 40miles this was very eco driving ?
Is this normal or not ?
Thanks

Gotta ask you the question, who is your car tuned by?

R-tech Performance

40 miles in what conditions? Crawling in heavy traffic, or open roads with a lot of boost? Either way 12mpg isn't brilliant. Need to get it scanned for faults and check assorted measuring blocks for running health.
Mine's been Stage 2+ for years and it averages 29mpg with my heavy foot. Custom and Revo.

When did this start? Before, immediately after tuning or recently? Anything else to go on other than poor fuel consumption?
You have an underlying fault to get only 12MPG by anybodies definition of 'eco driving'.
I have a lead foot in a busy city and can't drive more than 60ft without a speed bump meaning I'm forever stop/starting and I still average around 18MPG. Easily double that on a steady motorway run

To be honest guys, ive recently purchased this car so not sure if it was a existing problem or has it recently started, i phoned up Nikki at R-tech even he said 40miles on a 20 pound is bad he goes it should be doing around 70-80miles?

This was very light throttle driving around town, not much traffic, very rarely was i going into boost tbh
