The car was remapped almost as soon as we got it and can not say if fuel consumption improved or not but I know the guys at Angeltuning quite well and they do remap for fuel economy as opposed to performance increase (check they website). I don't think that the trip computer has ever shown 34mpg but again it all depends on your driving style.

I seem to recall that remaps are between £300 and £400 but if you can manage to gather a few friends to have their car remapped you will get a group discount.
