from what people have said about mapping m8 it will improve your car in more ways than just fuel consumption like POWER (always good to have more) and driveability

Mines stage 3 on greens and T34 and I get 145 miles to a 45 quid tank of super. Get some nice flames tho due to the overfuelling!

Could probably do with a remap and change of injectors to greys once I get my new cooler, head gasket and hoses shoved on! See if I can't squease a few more MPG out of it.

I averaged about 13litres to 100km the last weekend.
Not too bad I think.
No idea what this is in mpg though.

Speedy g you are nailing most people for economy (if my calculations are correct), light footed belgian perhaps?

Well i must be lucky bloke!

At 95mph (at least, all the way!) on my usual weekly haul to the midlands and back i return 260 miles to the tank!!!!

Dark greens, 1.7 bar, stage 3(ish) chip, etc etc.

Bought the car off of the owner of RGS Motorsport, so fek nose how he set that up!!!

And I always with optimax!!!!

Light footed??? Don't think so m8.
Do you know what size shoes I have to get??? Size 14,5 !!!

I bought the car on 14-04-01 and since that date upto my last refill 1day ago I've done 17578,8km (10922,96miles) and used about 2610,02litres (574,12gallon) of fuel in the beast.
This means that I averaged 14,85litres to 100km or 19mpg. Not too bad I think with a stage 3 Esc Cos.

I'm averaging 21mpg with a Superchip and Mongoose exhaust at this time. But this set-up will be changing these spring

My daily drive to work consists of 15 miles of back roads (35-40mph speed limits) and 15 miles of 75-80mph highway driving.
