Wow! this is great

I have owned my 2003 diesel auto 131 Connie since 2010 and it has now done 113700 miles. I had a re-map in July 2017.

In 2017 I have driven 5634 miles and consumed 119.3 gallons of supermarket fuel, this equates to an average of 47.1 mpg!!

The Rover manual says I should be getting 40.9 mpg. For a near 15 year old car with over 100k on the clock this is surely something.

Any thoughts?

Sounds good to me, and I wouldn't knock the consumption, for an automatic that's super

It is often the case when a car is remapped, the result if done well that more efficient combustion occurs, along with less of a need to press the loud pedal into the carpet to achieve the same sort of performance than previously.

All these things add up to a more relaxed driving experience.

Anyone who doesnt run the 160 map needs to be medically assessed.

For me it took the car to "Acceptable" from "Embarassing"

As for the 115Bhp mapped cars.....I found them so slow its actually dangerous!
