    Cool, but I meant regardless of what the figure is, is it still accurate, as I know tuning boxes causes the mpg figures to be quite a bit out.

    Yes, you're correct. A remap won't mess up the consumption figures on the computer like a tuning box does.

    It will be as (in)accurate as it always was, as the ECM is not being fooled into over fuelling - that would defo screw up the mpg calculation.
