Mpg between petrol and diesel

9.1K views 22 replies 13 participants last post by  SiJY  
Hi, My Kuga Titanium 1.5 petrol 148bhp 2019 is a disgrace, 21mpg in town and I have been told a remapping could achieve 5% better, that is ridiculous spending £300 to drive 10 miles more, but the question is if my mpg is 21 and the official one is 38, the gap is huge and I wonder if the ECU is faulty.
 
Hi all, I currently have a 2.0 tdci 148 bhp titanium, but possibly looking at changing to a 1.5 ecoboost petrol st-line. Does anyone have one and what mpg are you getting? Mines currently on about 82,000 miles and averaging 38.4mpg.

Any help and info is much appreciated šŸ‘šŸ»
You are lucky, my Kuga Titanium petrol 1.5 148bhp does 21mpg
 
Lots to consider here.
Lots or petrol owners do a remap and say it’s good. Long term you could gain it back.

We all have different driving so that’s something to consider. If you drive with slippers on and like a chauffeur then maybe it’s just that Kuga.
One more thing to consider is that the remapping has to be reported to the car insurance company which will be more expensive.
