Is your car more economical after chip tuning?
Chip tuning is mainly known for more power and pulling power, but many car owners also wonder: Will this actually make my car more economical? The answer is not clear. In some cases well, but it depends heavily on your driving style and the type of tuning.
What happens at Chiptuning?
Chip tuning adjusts the engine management software so that the engine uses air and fuel more efficiently. This increases low-end torque so that in many situations you can need to give less gas to deliver the same performance.
When can chip tuning be more economical?
In theory, chip tuning can improve fuel consumption reduce by 5 to 10% – provided you keep driving calmly and makes optimal use of the extra torque. Diesel engines, in particular, often benefit from this efficiency improvement.
You save fuel when:
- You can switch up earlier due to more pulling power
- The engine needs to work less at the same speed
- You hold a quiet driving style
When does your car consume more?
If you use the extra power to the fullest – for example by driving more sportily, accelerating faster or driving at high revs more often – then the consumption will actually increaseMore power simply requires more fuel, especially with petrol engines.
