About the same pre and post remap (stage 1).

Driving during rush hour can get me 18 - 24mpg.
Driving during say after rush hour at night, can get 30+mpg.
Motorway driving - not driven long enough distances to achieve the 40mpg I could get pre-remap.

about 25-27 mpg, mostly urban, not noticed any difference after remap unless you boot it everywhere

28-32 on the daily commute. I recently did a 60 mile drive each way mainly motorway. 70mph with the cruise on gave 37mpg. 65mph on the return, again with cruise, gave 41mpg. It was a boring drive but didn't wanna stop for fuel lol

You ought to see what I get out of the Partridgemobile....39.2mpg average on a run down to Stratford-on-Avon. and that's a 1700kg 2.5 V6 Auto. :surprised:

You must be doing something wrong Alex :laugh:

To get 38 you must have to not so much as even look at the accelerator! (not sure that sentence makes sense but you get my drift)

Problem is, that its very so addictive to boot these cars at every opportunity to make the exhaust fart!  :booty:

I probably average 28-30mpg daily in mine, if im playing more around 18mpg. I have had 37mpg a few times but they were the most boring drives of my life! Those are all Stg 2+ figures.
Title: Re: edition 30 MPG ?
Post by: E30Dom on March 30, 2011, 11:39:03 am
Get 38mpg on way to work normally, 34 on way home, but MPG 2 is stating 32.2mpg...
Title: Re: edition 30 MPG ?
Post by: Golfgirl on March 30, 2011, 11:47:06 am
30mpg on avaerage which comes from 24-26mpg round town and up to about 32mpg on the motorway.  I have seen 41mpg but that was a one off when I was running on fumes and was driving as economically as I could to get to the next petrol station!
Title: Re: edition 30 MPG ?
Post by: alexperkins on March 30, 2011, 11:47:52 am
Its interesting how we all have such varied MPGs for the same cars!
Title: Re: edition 30 MPG ?
Post by: rich83 on March 30, 2011, 11:51:49 am
I think its just driving style more than anything Alex! Im sure you can get very credible MPG out of these, but if thats what you want you bought the wrong car anyway!

I went out in mine twice yesterday and got 14.3MPG.... but i had fun on the way!  :grin:
Title: Re: edition 30 MPG ?
Post by: alexperkins on March 30, 2011, 11:55:03 am
I think you are probably right Rich

These cars are meant to be driven like sports cars, so those of use that have a lead foot pay the price in a low MPG  :signLOL:

Post by: alexperkins on March 30, 2011, 12:01:21 pm
Aye. Motorway will in most cases yield a higher MPG. I know the guy who used to own mine used to go from Yeovil to Newbury multiple times a week and got 35-37 lol! Something I dream of seeing.

at 70 on a motorway I'll never see above 32mpg
Title: Re: edition 30 MPG ?
Post by: bendella on April 06, 2012, 11:02:58 pm
Definitely thirsty when cold so i don't boot it. Had a tuning remap done  with piper sports cat and full stainless exhaust.
Thought i'd get better mpg with a remap but unfortunately not, seems very heavy, wonder if this should be the case
Title: Re: edition 30 MPG ?
Post by: dan930 on April 06, 2012, 11:16:27 pm
Best I can get is 33mpg doing around 50-60mpg for a 25min drive to work...get around 290-320from a full tank
Title: Re: edition 30 MPG ?
Post by: rich83 on April 06, 2012, 11:25:58 pm
30MPG on a decent run.. and thats not trying to get good MPG. If you want to I'm sure you can get close to 40 but you will have to be very carful with the accelerator  :happy2:
Title: Re: edition 30 MPG ?
Post by: E30Dom on April 07, 2012, 10:54:51 am
Have seen 43.6mpg on a run to work... (trip1)

On average i see 30-34mpg depending on how much i play... 30 if i play lots, 34 if i don't... This on a stage 2 car.
Title: Re: edition 30 MPG ?
Post by: ktlstar on April 07, 2012, 11:42:46 am

Standard form i got 38mpg to work at 60-70mph.

I now get 32mpg to work stage2+ at 60-70mph.

those figures sound good, should i be getting higher mpg on stage 1 performance tune, cause i sure am not? And thats with normal driving conditions, used to get good mpg before the remap and from the research done i thought better fuel eco after remap.
Any suggestions?
