Hi
Welcome and congrats to your new car!
Please update your location and it will be easier to help you...
My car take between 6.5 to 7.8 l/100km (163hp manual gearbox)
Link to convert to mpg!
http://www.eforecourt.com/l_100km_mpg_convert.htm
Think that the 177hp version was from september 2007 build, but not 100% sure!
Got mine in the beginning of July.
Yes you can remap to get up to 200hp and 400nm but think the fuel consumption will not get any lower because you will use your new hp?s

How many miles does it have on it?
Lots of owners report mpg's going up once they put a few thousand miles on it.

i think it should be somwhere near the breaking in mark now i did look up the specs for the 163 & it is avg 39 mpg was thinking a mild remap would give me a few more mpg
