I had my Renault Traffic van re-mapped by Superchips, it goes like rocket, and I get about 43 mpg since the re-map. All in all I think it was worth the cost (about £400) as I buy my vans new and run them for about ten years so I will get my money back in time.
Interesting, what would the normal fuel consumption be then?doorman said:

Interesting, what would the normal fuel consumption be then?I would hasten to add we do not carry full loads, change the oil with best synthetic every 9000 miles instead of 18000, good tyres and regular pressure checks etc.
When I use V-Power diesel every 4th fill it improves about 1-2 mpg. I have done several checks with filling the van right up and setting the trip meter and the results agree with the on-board computer.
One more factor we never normally fill the van up with diesel unless doing an MPG check as there is no point carrying around loads of fuel. I must have been a taxi driver in a previous life.

When I first bought it I averaged 38/39 mpg. The re-map transformed it, the 'sweet spot' with the torque was at about 2800 its now 2300.

OK thanks for that
