I've been focusing in the wrong area on this car for a wee while- time to get back to basics!
I bought this car primarily for its economy- so time to look at maximising the MPG.
The first goal will be to get back into the top 10 Diesel cars- to do this I need to get past the Panzerwagon owned by Runningstrong. His fuel log is testament to his hard work in getting to the 53.88US mpg achieved so far.
For me to get near him, I'll need to see a6% increase in my mpg- no sime task.
Currently the car is remapped for HP/torque, but done in such a way that low loads mean that it performs almost like stock.
For this tank I intend to see how well I can do on the current map whilst commuting to work. The route is 24 miles each way, of which 3 miles are town driving, 4 are A road and 17 are Motorway (the m80 near Glasgow).
I commute at peak times, and have encountered some tailbacks on every journey.
Here's a look at what I've achieved so far- looking at my initial and latest runs.
Monday Morning- 62.28mpg (51.86 US) actual (allowing for 10%over read on obc)
Monday evening-58.14mpg (48.41US)
AVERAGE= 60.21mpg (50.14US)
Wednesday Morning- 64.17mpg (53.43US)
Wednesday Evening- 63.27mpg (52.68US)
AVERAGE= 63.72mpg (53.06US)
Heading in the right direction at least
