Be it fitted to a Fabia, Ibiza or Polo, nothing betters your mpg figures, Revo remap or otherwise.
Perhaps you could make money out of your real-world mpg calculations as they seem very optimistic.
40+ mpg out of a petrol car is fantastic. If you can't afford to fuel that, you shouldn't be on the road. What other compromises might a poor driver make?!
Maybe because I can drive sensibly for the majority of the time. Since the map, the overall tank average never dropped below 60mpg. Fair enough you don't believe its power, but mpg is easily proved with fuel reciepts and mile readings ffs lol.
But you have to bear in mind, I did most of my driving sitting on cruise control at 60 on motorway or 45 on my B road, just watching the mpg rise. Got well over 70mpg on the way to town frequently as it basically idles in 6th at that but town traffic pushed it back down, as its not all avoidable. But I avoid town traffic where possible, will take another route to save fuel, also cost downhill in gear, gear down at junctions etc. Oh and overtake people doing 30, theyre the buggers keeping me stuck in 5th wasting fuel, usually get 2 or 3 overtakes on my road, but then coast back down to ~45. You won't find many people as anal about about mpg than me!
