Title: Stage 2 mpg
Post by: vRS_Pagey on October 24, 2011, 11:30:29 am
How have members with this software found the mpg, is it better or worse than stage 1/stock.  Looking for realistic figures under normal driving conditions.

My customers report same or slightly better when compared with stock.

Until you put your foot down that is, then its drinks like a Squaddie after a 6 month tour  :laugh:

im revo 2+

if i drive around not thinking of fuel, a journey of a+b + traffic = 28mpg

if im concerned about mpg round the same roads 32/33mpg

motorway with cruise at 70 = 34mpg
at 60 =37mpg

if i have a play at any point during any journey id expect a drop of 4mpg

I'm running Stage 2+ too and getting very similar figures to Edd  :happy2: definitely seem to get more miles to a tank if i drive sensibly with manily motorway miles over standard when i first got the car....... but then again how often does anyone drive sensibly all the time  :driver:

My figures have dropped from standard, could get 40mpg at 60mph standard. Im not bothered either way, power doesn't generally mean better fuel economy. it means big smiles.

i do how ever get better fuel economy on vpower over tesco momentum as much as i hate it because i do like my clubcard points!

How you find performance between them? It noticeable? Ive started running my Gti on momentum at moment, does sway it with 5p off vouchers :P My RS was noticeably better on momentum over v power but was other way round with ibiza. Not tried Gti on v power yet.

Lets face it. If you are thinking about stage 2 onwards is MPG really on the priority list?

It would be for me Rich. Why not have the extra power & also some nice economy when being boring as hell sensible.  :driver:

Couldn't have put it better myself.

Mpg isn't a major issue unless it is significantly lower.  I fully accept the loud pedal may receive more pressure, but day to day it will be normal driving, with the odd blast.  :evilgrin:

I havent noticed a massive difference in normal day to day driving but obviously it drinks like a fish when you really open it up  :drinking:

Well i monitor my mpg very close as i have just purchased a 2nd house and i either have to drive the c1 as much as possible or drive mine seriously slowly. I dont think its going to be enough though :(
