Either you are driving it very lightly or you're very very lucky.... in 12 months and 26k of (granted, unchipped) motorway driving I never really got much more than 25mpg

Hi blacksheep,

I don't know what RRS you have (if any) but I don't understand why you are so cynical?

Several other contributors claim to achieve better figures than me.

Kaine "up to 34"
CHAD1 "41"
aljo "36"

I'm not claiming the impossible and don't really care who you (or anyone else) spend money with.
If a few of us can save money and still get the goods then thats a good thing isnt it?

It's all relative.....more power = heavy right foot = more fuel. Unless you drive like a Nun going to a funeral  TDV6 - gone

Yes Josh , I agree.

I was having the same discussion with Sister Mary this morning.!!!

I seem to remember your TDV6 would break 30mpg with out too much trouble?

Just for the record.....
I do not wish to be drawn into a "my chip is better than your chip" debate.

I am not trying to say it's any better or worse than any other commercial offering. Some contributors with remaps report higher or lower mpg than mine.

I am just trying to share my experience for the greater good.

I have no relationship , personal , family , or commercial with the person or company who did the work.
I feel I have had good value for money so I'm happy.

All this chatter on my tdv6 does 28+ to the gallon makes me feel a bit sick.
The best I get out of my chipped tdv8 is 21 around Norf London mate and I dont drive that fast

Bigmart don't get so touchy. As long as you are happy with your purchase that's all that matters. You don't have to be a and follow the crowd. I certainly didn't.

In answer to the above quote.

Yes it did.....as long as I drove it very carefully. Which I did on more than one occasion. Managed 32 - 35 ish. But if I didn't it probably averaged around 22 - 25.

Not sure what I'm getting at the moment  TDV6 - gone

Quick update,
2 tankfulls later.
1 - 32.4 , mixed driving mainly motorway
2 - 31.5 , mixed but mainly city with several "demo" drives for interested parties.

Still 3-4mpg better and sems to smoke less with more thrashing.. The car must like it!


Only problem is , I'm going so much faster I think I need to inprove the brakes
