your remaps and fuel consumption?

[Coalesy]

Hi guys,

i know this has probably been on scn millions of times, but what remaps have people got on there leon 1.820vt 180bhp and how did it affect your fuel consumption??

thanks in advance

Ben

have a revo remap on mine. running on shell v power my average consumption is around 30mpg..I only use my car locally...the remap can actually improve your fuel consumption if driven normally and running on v power or tesco 99 can also help

 

[dmmsta]

I'm running Custom Code Phase 2, and seeing about 25MPG around town, pushing 35MPG when on the Motorway.

THats running V Power or Tesco 99 at worst!

 

[smokescreen]

28.4mpg on the first tank refill just after the remap, which isn't bad considering I've been occasionally flooring it. On motorway trips, there's clearly an improvement in MPG by at least 10% on the instant computer, going the same paths etc.

Strangely the remap has made me a very defensive driver now.

 

[Coalesy]

so am i right in thinking that once it has been rempped, fill it with super v or tesco 99 or likewise and then run on it on that in the future for best results??

 

[davegrayburn]

i think most people on here with modified engines run v power..or an equivelant

 

[smokescreen]

Been told that the maps tend to be developed for super 97, and so putting in 99 wouldnt result in any real benefit over 97.

 

[traumapat]

depends on the map.. revo i think have different settings for different fuels.

jabba asked me to run at least 2 tanks of vpower prior to my first remap which was stage 2. not sure if there would have been as much difference on a generic/stage 1 map though.

best check with whomevers mapping it

 

[Coalesy]

cheers guys, think im going to go for a p-torque map so ill have to see what they say when i call to book it in which will be soon hopefully

 

[sheffboy]

I'm running CC phase 1 and havent noticed a drop in mpg, unless i boot it though.

I normally run it on tesco super as shell stations round here are like rocking horse ****, as you'll know coming from dronny

 

[Coalesy]

yep only one i can think of is eccy road??

whats your cc phase one like mate?? im deciding between CC and P-torque cant make my mind up, cc is closer, but p-torque is cheaper and get rollingroad results chucked in for free

 

[sheffboy]

Can't fault CC but never had another map to compare to.

The main reason i went CC is i work 2 minutes walk from JBS so it made sense and everyone rated the smoothness of their maps.

P-torque are meant to excellent and the RR print-out is a nice touch. It's a tough call i suppose.

Edit. forgot to mention. I also got mine remapped when JBS ran their 2 for one day back in 2007 so it only cost me about £240ish so that was a huge deciding factor for me

 

[Coalesy]

yea, ill have a think about it. i work 2 mins form JBS too, on sheepbridge lol

 

[sheffboy]

haha!

I work up the rd at dunston!

 

[big eck]

I get around 35mpg on the motorway and as low as 25mpg around town in my mapped LCR

I ALWAYS use tesco 99 now as my car runs so much better on it than the shell petrol

 

[Neil_Ireland]

I've a leon cupra with fmic, full exhaust, tip, panel filter and remap to suit the mods and average 31mpg.
Roughly 370 miles to a tank.

Neil.

 

[andycupra]

you cant go faster for free. going faster always uses more fuel.

if you drive like for like you will find that the mpg will be no worse, some people swear it improves.

boot it, and of course you will use more fuel.

What sort of speeds, & revs in 6th, are you doing when you get 35mpg on motorways? Thanks.

 

[Mylo]

LC, stage 1, average 31mpg over the last 5000 miles.

if I keep it under 3k revs it can go up to 35mpg on a 30 mile mixed road commute

 

[skunnie26]

LC, Revo Stage 1, run on unleaded, 50% urban & 50% out of town, consistently between 27 - 30MPG
