At Remaps Bristol, we offer fuel efficiency remapping that helps you get more miles from every tank — without hurting performance. Whether you drive for work, business, or long-distance travel, our economy-focused remaps help reduce fuel use and improve day-to-day drivability.
It’s one of the most practical and cost-effective upgrades you can make to your vehicle.
What Is a Fuel Efficiency Remap?
Fuel efficiency remapping is a form of ECU tuning focused on improving your engine’s economy and smoothness.
Rather than chasing maximum horsepower, this type of remap adjusts:
- Torque delivery at low and mid RPM
- Throttle response and gear change points
- Fuel injection timing and boost levels (for turbo engines)
The goal is to make your engine run more efficiently — especially in real-world driving conditions like commuting, motorway cruising, or stop-start traffic.
You’ll still get better response and power, but tuned in a way that reduces fuel use.
Who Is It For?
Fuel-saving remaps are ideal for:
- High-mileage drivers
- Couriers and delivery drivers
- Tradespeople running vans
- Commuters covering long daily routes
- Fleet owners looking to cut operating costs
If fuel spend is one of your biggest monthly bills, this remap helps you take control of it.
We’ve helped businesses and individuals across Bristol save hundreds of pounds per year through smarter tuning.
How Much Fuel Can You Save?
Savings vary by vehicle, driving style, and conditions — but most customers see:
- Up to 15% better fuel economy on diesel engines
- 5–10% improvement on petrol cars
- Smoother, more efficient gear changes
- Less need to rev the engine or downshift
For example:
- A Ford Transit averaging 32 mpg may rise to 36–37 mpg
- A VW Passat TDI on long journeys may increase from 50 mpg to 55+ mpg
- A Vauxhall Vivaro used for deliveries may see a weekly fuel cost reduction
Over time, that adds up — especially if you’re filling the tank more than once a week.
Does It Affect Performance?
Yes — but in a good way.
You’ll still gain usable torque, especially at low RPM, which makes driving easier. But we don’t tune for maximum peak power like a performance remap.
Instead, you’ll notice:
- Smoother throttle response
- Stronger pull in the lower rev range
- Fewer gear changes in traffic
- A more relaxed drive on the motorway
It’s a win-win: better efficiency with more usable power.
Is It Safe for the Engine?
Absolutely.
At Remaps Bristol, we only remap vehicles that pass our pre-tune diagnostic check. We use licensed tools and custom maps that stay well within the safe parameters of your engine and drivetrain.
This type of tuning reduces engine strain, as you no longer need to rev hard to make progress.
In fact, many of our customers say their vehicle feels calmer and smoother after the remap.
Can You Remap Diesel and Petrol Cars?
Yes. We offer economy-focused remaps for both diesel and petrol engines.
Diesel engines often see the biggest gains in mpg, especially turbocharged models. But petrol vehicles can also benefit from smarter fuelling and improved torque delivery.
We tune:
- Small hatchbacks and runarounds
- Family saloons and estate cars
- Light commercial vans
- Pickup trucks and campers
- Company cars and fleet vehicles
If you’re unsure what’s possible, just ask — we’ll give honest, no-pressure advice.
How Long Does It Take?
Most fuel efficiency remaps take 1.5 to 2 hours.
This includes:
- Full health check and diagnostics
- ECU read and custom tuning
- Safe flashing and post-map testing
We offer both mobile service across Bristol and in-workshop appointments, depending on what suits you best.
How Much Does It Cost?
Fuel-saving remaps at Remaps Bristol start from:
- £260 for Stage 1 tuning
