About the same as before, but I've mapped on the lean side with emphasis on motorway cruising speeds, and only clog it when no-one is looking.

Depends so much on tune, boost and how you drive it.

Worst I had so far with TTET is 33mpg s:shock: :shock: s:shock: but normally average around 35-36mpg

Quote from: "Gazz"About 250 per tank.

Wow and I've seen the way you drive!

the ironic thing i've found is the fuel used is at its worst when on tickover sat still, it absolutely drinks the stuff, , think a tweek of the fuel map may be required s:? :? s:?

Backing off the airflow values in the upper left corner of the map will sort this out Stu. They're already negative but they'll cope with quite a bit more.

The more precise tuning, especially if done directly on your car, should deliver the capability for better miles per gallon, if driven in a similar manor to N/A. This must be balanced against the fact that it feels so much better when you mash the pedal, you find yourself looking for more occaisions to do it.

I'm still seeing 35-36mpg on a 30 mile commute to and from work along dual carridgeways. That does drop a fair bit if I take the 'long' way home and enjoy some backroads.

I was quite suprised that after turbo'ing there wasn't a larger mpg penalty - but at a steady cruise, the turbo isn't really restricting anything and 'costing' power - the engine's compression ratio remains unchanged too.

On track, this plummets as you'd expect - 10-15mpg is normal, depending on how hard I'm driving.
