Tired of rising fuel prices? Want to get more miles from every litre?
At Remaps Nottingham, we offer professional fuel efficiency remapping designed to optimise how your car or van uses fuel. Whether you drive long commutes, run a business fleet, or simply want to save at the pump, our remaps can help reduce your fuel consumption—without sacrificing reliability or comfort.
Let’s walk through how fuel-saving remaps work, who they’re best suited for, and what kind of results you can expect.
What Is Fuel Efficiency Remapping?
Modern engines are controlled by an ECU (Engine Control Unit). This software decides how much fuel to inject, when to ignite it, and how the engine responds to your inputs.
From the factory, these settings are a compromise—designed to suit a wide range of countries, fuel grades, and driving habits.
A fuel efficiency remap fine-tunes this software to deliver more torque at lower RPMs, smoother acceleration, and more efficient fuel delivery.
The result? You get the same performance at lower throttle levels—so your engine does more with less.
No parts are changed. It’s a software upgrade tailored to the way you actually drive.
How Does It Improve MPG?
We improve fuel economy in two key ways:
1. More Low-End Torque
By increasing torque at lower revs, your engine doesn’t have to work as hard. That means:
- Fewer gear changes
- Less throttle needed to maintain speed
- Easier cruising on A-roads or motorways
2. Cleaner Fuel Delivery
We optimise fuel-air ratios, timing, and boost delivery to make combustion more efficient. This reduces wasted fuel—especially during stop-start or city driving.
It’s a smoother, more controlled drive that uses less energy per mile.
What Vehicles Benefit Most?
We see the biggest gains from:
- Diesel cars and vans
Ideal for drivers covering long distances or carrying heavy loads. - Fleet vehicles
Fuel savings add up fast when running multiple vans, cars, or delivery vehicles. - Manual gearboxes
Drivers can stay in higher gears longer thanks to extra low-end torque. - Turbocharged engines
Tuning the boost and fuel delivery leads to better efficiency across the rev range.
We’ve helped couriers, tradespeople, and long-distance commuters across Nottingham get more from every tank.
How Much Fuel Can You Save?
Fuel savings vary depending on the vehicle, driving style, and journey type.
On average, you can expect:
- 5–10% fuel economy improvement on most diesel vehicles
- 3–7% savings on petrol vehicles
- Even higher gains for vans and larger engines on regular routes
That might not sound dramatic—but over a year, it adds up.
For example:
- A van doing 20,000 miles a year at 35 MPG = 571 gallons
- A 10% improvement = 57 gallons saved
- At £6.50/gallon = £370+ saved per year
And those savings repeat every year.
Will It Affect Performance?
No—in fact, it often improves it.
Fuel efficiency tuning doesn’t just cut fuel—it makes your engine more usable in everyday driving.
You’ll likely notice:
- Smoother throttle response
- Easier cruising in higher gears
- Reduced engine noise at motorway speeds
It’s not a race map, but it makes your vehicle feel more refined and responsive.
Is It Safe for Daily Driving?
Yes—100%.
At Remaps Nottingham, we don’t chase unrealistic fuel claims or compromise engine safety. Our fuel-saving remaps:
- Keep factory safety limits intact
- Avoid over-boosting or excessive fuelling
- Are designed for daily driving and long-term reliability
We also run full diagnostics before tuning to ensure your engine is in good health. If we spot issues (like EGR faults or DPF restrictions), we’ll let you know before proceeding.
How Long Does It Take?
Most fuel efficiency remaps take 1.5 to 2 hours.
The process includes:
- Diagnostics check
- ECU read
- Custom tuning
- ECU write
- Testing and post-remap advice
You can wait with us or drop off your car and collect it later. We’ll let you know when it’s ready to go.
How Much Does It Cost?
Our pricing is clear and competitive:
- Stage 1 Economy Remap – £250
For standard, unmodified vehicles - Fleet or multi-vehicle discounts – available on request
Every remap includes:
- Full vehicle diagnostics
- Original file backup
- Custom map tailored to your engine
- Aftercare and support
No hidden charges. No pushy sales tactics.
Does It Affect Insurance or MOT?
Insurance
Yes, you should inform your insurer of the remap. Most providers accept efficiency tuning, and the premium difference is often small.
MOT
Our economy remaps will not cause an MOT failure. We do not delete or tamper with emission systems. Your DPF, EGR, and catalytic converter remain fully operational.
