Can a remap be done to improve mpg?

Did you reset the ounter while the engine was warm or cold? I find that I can get pretty decent figures as long as the engine is warm - start from cold though and it ruins it!

Yes - overall I'm not quite 39mpg brimming the tank at about 500 miles. This was just one journey to work, this morning I got 40.1mpg. Trevor '60 reg SD4 XS (long gone!) |

Yes cold engine. My first 1/2 mile is downhill (very downhill), which helps. And remember this is only a random jouney to work, not an overall average. Trevor '60 reg SD4 XS (long gone!) |

^I take it your figures are for a TD4 and not an SD4 |

Thats the sort of mpg I was getting from the D3 today coming up the M6 a 70 ish mph, using the right foot rather than cruise control gives good mpg ______________________ 2011 Full Fat RR 4.4 TDV8 2012 FL2 SD4 Auto HSE 2013 Kawasaki Versys 650 |

I don't think the necessary protocols for SD4 have been released yet. Opinion seems to suggest that there is little room for remapping anyway - especially on the performance/power side. Very jealous of all the above figures! Just short of 2k miles and mine seems stuck on about 30mpg - and I'm no boy racer! If this carries on my SD4 is going in for a check. At this rate I could have gone for a D3! Actually I'm also routinely using with the RoadTrip LE app on the iPhone which indicates that the 'real' figures are about 2mpg WORSE than indicated by the onboard computer.

After about 2000 miles I'm currently getting about 33 MPG from my SD4 which is the same as I was getting from my 57 TD4 manual. |
