Remap/Chip - Save petrol??

[gordybaillie]

Hi

Im new so may be a dum question but if I was to get my Ibiza Cupra remapped would i get better mpg as i travel atleast 50 miles a day and think it gonna cost me alot of cash so may work out better in the long run?

E.g. if i was able to save £10 a week then and to get it remaped costs £400 then i should go for the remap.

Current engine mods are only:
Superspring catback exhaust
Baileys dumpvalve

Would be going to Star Performance for the remap probly as heard good things about them and they are local to me.

Thanks

possibly but i doubt it, its extremely hard not to boot it when its remapped the difference is that much! i average around 27mpg around town from a tank

Pre-revo I was getting 20-22mpg, post revo, im now getting an easy 27-28mpg.

Most of my miles are motorway, so sitting at around 80mph.

 

[Jonzy]

Itll do 30-35mpg at that speed without a problem.

with the remap?
Only picked up my car on saturday so yet to really know what i'll get but looks like its about 27mpg.
Another newbie question while im here lol - everyone run their car on super unleaded/optimax?

Oonly on Optimax for mine!

 

[Jonzy]

BP ultimate most of the time, or esso sul.

 

[gordybaillie]

are optimax, super unleaded, BP ultimate all just the same yeh?

Optimax and BP Ultimate are more or less the same. Optimax has a slightly higher ron but its also been proven that this goes down over time (i.e ron reduces over time as it sits in petrol forecourt tanks and your own petrol tank)
