Guys running stage 1 revo .. what's the fuel usage like.. i currently get around 330 miles per tank.. just wondering if I will notice a difference either side when i get the remap done
-
Less as you wont be able to resist :wink:
-
If you drive in a similiar fashion post remap then you should see slightly better mpg.

This is true, as it is fun. But on the serious side, it won't change when normal commuting, driving and CAN actually be better due to the extra torque and less need to rev it higher for more go. Either way, it isn't going to make a vast difference..

330? I was pushing to get 300 :laugh:
-
330 - must be doing something wrong.
Getting close to 400.
Mainly sh1tty little runs too, with the odd job in Manchester.
But good post, been wanting to know exactly the same, but dare not ask. Trying not to go down the performance mods, but finding it very difficult to resist.

from experience (APR) and from general forum surfing (REVO) , these 2 provide equivalent or even better MPG from a stg 1 remap.
Often the increased torque means you get to your speed quicker and can use a higher gear.
Obviously the temptation is increased so if you use it fully it will be less.
In terms of stock vs mapped (stg 1) theres NO downside in mpg , in fact it could be better for similar driving.
Only slight issue is that most remaps require 98+ RON (more expensive) v.s
you 'can' run the gti on regular unleaded (but I wouldnt do so)
I ran my ED30 on 98+ for stock anyway , so equiv petrol cost.
a good quality remap for an ED30 is a no brainer tbh (insurance costs aside) :happy2: :pomppomp:

Hes 100% right on that one.
And once your on stage 2 plus it just gulps it up like its going out of fashion.

Im on stage 2 and mine gulps like its going out of fashion, lol lol 300 im lucky to 200 :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

Oh man I'm lucky to get 300 miles out of mine with Revo stage 1 :sad1:
-
Not sure if the S3 has a bigger tank or not, but I get approx 320-330 miles stage 2+ Revo'd :smiley:
-
S3 has a 60l tank compared to the Golf's 55 - feel free to correct me if I have this one wrong :happy2:
-
I dunno :smiley:
-
but its still averageing 28mpg on the puter the same as it was on stg1 :smiley:
-
What are you guys usually averaging MPG wise day to day driving?
Im on 12mpg most of the time. Its so addictive :driver:
-
Morning commute for me is normally 29-32mpg.
Way home (needing a cold beer this evening) 21.2mpg :driver:
This reduced MPG was also partly to do with an Audi posh golf A3 driver, when will they learn not to come up behind me and flash their lights for me to move over :signLOL:
-
I'm on stg3 bluefin and my commute up and down the m56 see's between 33 an 37 mpg depending on traffic speeds. But I gave itsomebeans the othernight and ended up with 8.4mpg.... :surprised:
