getting more mpg on d9 110hdi
its doing about 50 to the gallon now but what could i do to improve it a little are these tunning boxes worth their money.just as i do about 700 miles a week and with fuel constantly going up just woundered if there was any thing to help to get a bit more has any 1 tried bio diesel on these engines and chip fat oil etc just after info folks
Re: getting more mpg on d9 110hdi
Dont use bio diesel or chip fat oil as they will break a HDi. Don't use chip tuning boxes as they reduce MPG and ruin clutches and the like.
50MPG is good. You can improve it by adapting your driving style. On the motorway use throttle control and your gears more effectively. You should never ever have to brake on the motorway because you should be at a good distance from the driver in front of you. When you need to slow, deaccelarate and change down accordingly. By simply braking ang driving off again, you greatly increase fuel consumption When you fill up, reset the trip clock to 000.0 and see how much you can get from a full tank. Anything over 750 miles is excellent.

I think you could probably get it up to somewhere around 55 if you drive carefully as shaun said.
the general thoughts on here are to stay away from the tuning boxes, the basically fool the ecu into injecting more fuel. some boxes can do this by "intelligently" varying the signals, some just hack the signals with resistors.
The thoughts on here are you are better off spending around £300 to have it remapped rather than messing with these tuning boxes. also a remap is lot hard to spot by mr insurance man if you have a crash.
The major problem you have with the 110 is it has a dual mass flywheel and clutch. this isn't very strong and is likely to fail at some point if you do remap or add tuning box. Its a pretty expensive job to have it changed too (been there done that) and you'd be better fitting a solid flywheel and uprated clutch if it did fail.
