Hang on if you perform the same tuning on petrol engines you get the same effect. More performance when booting it and more economy when being 'economical'.

My average has gone up from 39-40mpg combined to 44.4ish.

Yes Chris but the boundary lines are wider for Diesel as its a more economical burn anyhow. My average has improved by 6 mpg town driving and 10 mpg on M/way @ steady 70 (Bradford to Telford) light traffic.

I wonder what the price difference in petrol and diesel makes to the difference in mpg between petrol and diesel? You guys hear we are in for another price hike!!

I hear the opposite... Price for Crude has dropped <$150 a barrel now so its going down. £1.04 for unleaded in my local shell down from 108.9 yesterday. Only reason for increase would be the £-$ exchange rate devalueing.

It is overnight, 16$ a barrel increase, the biggest ever single price rise... :mad: Speculation again, speculation that the USA injecting billions of dollars into their economy will increase demand on crude reserves.... FFS....:mad:

S**t just what we need :bang: :cry:, Typical American small minded ignorence. Screw the rest of the world as long as the price of the $ dollar increases and they can run their massive V6-V8's they are happy.

I'm more than confident it would mince an abarth on the straights, but on a B road (where it matters) I think the abarth would be showing its true colours.

Normally I'd agree with you but after having driven one when you enable 'sports boost' the power delievery is very diesel like except it carrys on until 5000rpm (peak torque 230nm goes from 2800rpm all the way too 5200rpm) so pulls like a train very satisfying lol. It depends very much on gearing I think but it would be quite hard to pull away in the GPS i'd imagine.

I think from reading earlier threads you take a few mpg of the computers mpg to get real world mpg. and if its been remapped take a couple more off. would mean im getting 54ish mpg on the motorway.

I might actually believe you on this one, if what you say about 5/6 full and change when the light is on is correct then

5/6 full is 5/6*45 = 37.5 litres
light comes on at 7 litres left so thats 30.5 litres used which is 6.7 gallons
which gives 58.1mpg :)
