Anyone got their van remapped?

Local guy is doing it and getting very good results, I remapped a BMW years ago with good results.

Anyone here done it?

Yeah more MPG and more BHP.

The reasoning...

All cars/vans etc are mapped to suit every climate and different grades of fuel in different countries that they are sold in. You remap it to suit our climate and fuel. Can gain quite a bit in MPG and BHP.

Can gain quite a bit of MPG by not using supermarket fuel also, and probably make your engine last longer!

Thats for sure.

We noticed filling up at ASDA on the way to Newcastle that we got less runs back and forth than we did if we filled up at the local BP.

We met someone at Mourne Motorhome Park who tols us about the difference in MPG if you fill at the supermarket pump.

I would love to work out if it was still no saving even when you get it 5p per litre cheaper after shopping. Cant do that, makes my brain hurt....LOL
