Yeah I got something like that (think it was 43-44mpg) but then for the last 10-15 mins of the journey I got fed up and hit the pedal. The mpg dropped to below 30mpg for the entire journey!

Average I get is around 32-34mpg - and that's a mixture of road legal driving on the motorway coupled with  long periods of 100-120 mph.  :wink:

80% of my driving is in rural areas around town.
10% is sensible motorway driving ( 80-90mph )
10% is a bit of fun sometimes.

I average 31.5mpg

I've done just over 500 miles in my since buying at the start of October. I'm averaging 30.8mpg but most of this is on journeys of 10 - 15 miles. I'm using Shell V-Power not cheap nasty ordinary stuff.

GT3 - get ur ED30 remapped via REVO... its a must !!!

Do remaps effect MPG at all? Providing you are not using your extra power to move through the gears quickly?
If I were to do a 15 mile journey at 30/40mph, would it be any different with the remap?

I normally see 38mpg ish on long rush hour motorway journeys. e,g, Leicester to Staines - that is going to work (who rushes to work) but low 30's mpg going home  :smiley:

Why is it a must? Are you saying i'll get much better mpg, or is your comment just from a power/performance point of view?

With my weekend car producing 415bhp from a non-turbo 3.6L engine and stats of 0-60 in 4.3s and top speed of 192mph, I cant justify spending £££s on mapping my Ed30 just for the reason of more bhp.

Does the mapping make the car drive better or achieve better mpg or does it just give you more power only?
