Those with Jabba Remaps

[CupraSteve]

If I have a Jabba remap will my fuel economy go stupid?

I wanna have one done but as I use the car quite reguarly for work, dont wanna be spending £k's in fuel.

Im fully aware it will affected but to what extent?

only when you use the loud pedal, its not an on/off switch

 

[CupraSteve]

so driving around normally then below 3.5k rpm what kind of mpg could be expected?

 

[Cupramax]

If you drive normally it'll be about the same as driving normally pre remap...

i get 22-35mpg depending on loud pedal usage

45mpg some trips

I tend to find that motorway driving - if driving sensibly, my mpg is a little better since getting m jabba map done...

Not that I drive sensibly that often!

 

[Spanky]

Not talking Jabba, but I know of quite a few Revo'd/APR'd LC/LCR's that have noticed better mpg following a remap, driving sensibly of course. It will use more with a lead right foot however....

 

[tris]

m/way driving get about 34mpg
round town off boost 36 mpg
B road blast 12 to 18 mpg

i have better mpg with the remap, not jabba, but you tend to build up your right leg due to continous booting!

My Jabba'd LC fuel economy never changed after I had the remap. I suppose I might get some gains if I drove liek an old woman, but what would be the point?

I enjoy the extra power!

Problem is you DONT drive normally when you have hte extra power avilible.

You can SAY you will and THINK you will all you want. But you wont.

You WILL drive it harder and faster.

I have two a3 1.8t's one standard and one modded plus jabba remap, both are drived by myself and girlfriend the same amount. The cars are driven to work, on motorsways and driven hard down b road's on the way home.

the standard one averages 30mpg

the modded plus jabba map one averages 35mpg

so in my opinion fuel economy is better after the remap

 

[BenS1]

Even with my Jabba IHI upgrade I haven't spent any more money on fuel. The trip computer doesn't give accurate readings anymore due to the different injector sizes etc but I've not noticed any difference in economy!

On track of course its a different matter. 6mpg!!!

not everyone drives like this...

too busy on the roads these days, and cars are fast

But when the roads are clear.... even just getting up to speed you will used theextra power

 

[traumapat]

hard to say with me

my first mod was a dynatwist and economy got worse. cant give figures but i noticed more time at the pump.

once jabba played about economy improved alot but not sure if its better than the stock levels.
overall chipping the car hasnt worsened the mpg

 

[Damo]

Have to say that my MPG has improved since re-mapping.

Used to see between 200-220 miles per tank as standard.

I now get a minimum of 240 miles per tank.

I can only guess that due to the extra power available, I no longer need to rag it everywhere, plus it's just too darn dangerous. Things were alot safer when standard. Traffic light grand prixs are out the question as well now, too much wheelspin to even bother thinking about. In fact 1st and 2nd are pretty useless now, so that probably contributes to the better MPG as well.

 

[BHP Addict]

Is it just the Jabba remap that are showing these MPG figures or are they all pretty much similar?
