S60 D5 remap MPG

jiffy176 · May 6th, 2009, 19:23

To those who have a Euro III D5 163 that have had either a BSR, MTE or Rica standard tune to about 193 BHP. Can you give me a clue what your MPG is like since having the ECU remap. Is anyone seeing much better worse or about the same but with big smiles.

Just trying to work out if there is anything between the three.

Cheers.
Steve.

Hi Steve,
I've had the Rica standard tune for about 4 months now and would say the fuel consumption is marginally better using BP Ultimate diesel.

However, huge smiles everytime i drive it. Well worth the money and the car is like a different car again.

Cheers

Steve, I'm running Rica sportune on a euro 3 163 & it regularly returns 48mpg with mixed driving (& some loud pedal). On a run it easily exceeds 50mpg & taking the performance & size (v70) into account the economy is amazing

I have been running with a RICA remap for about 80k now and I get about 650 miles to 70 litres of fuel which works out at about 42 mpg. I do have a lead right foot though! It's perfectly possible to get low 50s (and even 60s when frightened by really high fuel prices and just as an experiment!) but where would be the fun in that?
