The first, FROG, is a 2010 with 245 kms ; we purchased this with 150km on it, we’ve had it about 4-5 years . It was remapped about 1 year into ownership.Pre re-map mileage was approx 6.4 l/100km on my regular commute ( 35 minutes, mostly open road); post map long term mileaage ( more than a year between re-sets ) is dependably 7.2 l/100km
The second, GECKO, is a recent arrival – a 2011 that’s delivering 8 l /100ml and has NOT been remapped
I am unsure why the base economy between the 2 cars, same model, 1 year apart, varies from FROG’s pre-remap of mid 6’s to GECKO’s not remapped 8.Almost exclusively the same driver ( me ) and same routes
Difference in economy
in Performance

Any ideas ? Garry
