The difference in cost between 40 and 50mpg over an average 12,000 mile year is maybe £150.
Not worth worrying about.

The BMW only have 500 miles on it so far, so not sure it'll be staying at 50mpg or get a bit better over time.
It just that they don't need that much power anymore, and would be happy to gain better mpg and lose a fair chunk of performance, and would be cheaper to remap the chip than to sell it and buy another car, especially when they had the Toyota since new.

Couldn't resist the calculation: £286 @ £1.05/litre, still not a gamechanger...

For a diesel engine it is pretty appalling when the BMW is not only quicker, cheaper to tax (122g/km) and insured, but managed a smug above 50mpg.
So effectively the Toyota is expensive in every sense! (Abet last forever with no issues for 75,000 miles).
