Shouldn’t necessarily reduce economy. Unless your driving style has become more aggressive. I get high 20s to mid 30s normally on my stage 1 Leon Cupra 280, and that’s with normal, non-vigorous driving. High 30s on a run. I don’t have a DSG map. If the DSG map keeps the box in lower gears at higher revs all the time, then I can see why economy may be reduced.

Is the MPG readout from the dash, or calculated from fill ups? My understanding was that plug in tuning box’s wouldn’t give an accurate reading due to the way they intercept sensors to increase power

Hi it’s the same in all modes eco it changes up as it did prior it only keeps in lower gears in cupra mode
