Fuel economy

I want more mpg from my Mercedes-Benz E320 CDI - is a bolt on chip the way to go? Some manufacturers say they improve mpg by 20% but is it true?

Maybe, maybe not. But you can bank on paying another £200 + for your insurance and you have to declare it. A better answer is a better fuel. I always got best mileage out of BP Ultimate diesel.

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.

Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
