MPG Gains from an ECU Remap

5–15% on most modern diesels driven sensibly. Petrols see smaller gains. If you use the extra power, MPG stays the same.

Economy-focused remaps are one of the most undersold benefits of tuning. Here's what the real numbers look like.

Will a remap pay for itself? — On a high-mileage diesel doing 20k+ a year, yes — typically within 18 months on fuel savings alone.

Does premium fuel help? — On petrol remaps with higher boost, yes. On diesels, standard supermarket diesel is fine.
