From ?20 i can do about 200- 220 miles depending on how hard i drive it, full tank is about 550 miles pretty much the same before the remap. Imo tuning box,s seem to use more fuel. What sort of mpg are you getting?
thats the bloody annoying thing
when i didnt have the box on it was reading about 44 mpg on avarage
then fitted it shot up to almost 60mpg
but it certainly wasnt doing 60 it was more like 30

I am getting about 300 miles to half a tank (?20) out of my Revo'd GT TDI 110.............50mpg.
That is a combination of short distances at the weekend and A roads during the week (mad and calm driving)
thats almost double what i am getting [
]
think i may be checking a few other bits on my car over the weekend

A few months ago I took apart the inlet from the turbo and cleaned it as there was about 5+mm of gunk all inside it and that restricted the air flow.
After cleaning all that crap out (2odd hours of labour) I drove the car and she smoked like she was a chimney for about 5 min until the ECU adjusted with the increased air flow and everything has been fine since.
Economy and performance increase was noticed

i think this will be one of my jobs over the weekend
i will look at as many inlet parts as possible and try giving them a clean
