OP OP L Largey Apr 1, 2012 #4 cheers lads appreciate it, its a shame they dont have 6 gears, if thats the case will a re map help in n e way? i do a lot of motorway driving and i tend to stay at 65 70 to get reasonable mpg.

Tchaaa Buy & Sell Member Apr 1, 2012 #6 I'd agree about 6 gears, my friends BMW Mini has 6 and it's just so much nicer on motorways, quieter and more fuel efficient! My rule of thumb with my car in fifth gear is that you double the revs and get the speed, so like, 3000rpm = 60mph if that makes sense.
