interesting report, but does anyone think it it true, or just a stunt? |

Don't see why it should be a stunt... I've not heard of these people, but the website looks credible. Just another tuner by the looks of it. It's a different take, as we're used to tuners claiming performance increases not economy increases

23 mpg to 31 . Surely performance must have been majorly affected?!. I have to drive amazingly sensible to get 30 mpg on the motorway on mine. Driving hard around town gives 16-18. Normal around town gives 21-23. |

I was wondering the same... they advertise it as an economy upgrade, so it follows that this should impact performance somewhat rather than the usual improvement. But then they also talk about simply changing the engine map for increases in torque etc with the view being less gearchanges, less accelerating and braking etc which would lead to increases in mpg.

23mpg? he is driving with a leaden right foot, I struggle to get mine to go below 25mpg and am averaging 29.8mpg, with a 70km/h limit around here I don't even get the car into top gear. Sons of dogs come hither and get flesh
