Would that help?
No.
The logic for better economy from more power and torque is that you’ll be accelerating for less time and using fewer revs as you can change up sooner. It’s all a flawed theory in any situation as it’s all to do with how you drive, but on a constant throttle on the motorway you’ll definitely be no better off.

Anyone got experience of van remaps (or remaps in general)?
I've just upgraded to a newer (euro 6 cos ULEZ) Citroen relay from my old Euro 4 version. Like it, apart from motorway fuel economy seems worse -33 MPG Vs 38 or even 40 in the old one. This is cruising around 60.
New van is a 6 speed too - which I thought would help. MpG seems good round town, maybe even better than the old one - just crap at higher speeds. Apparently I can get a remap that takes it from 110bhp to 180! Would that help?
