Stage 1 remapping in St Neots
Almost three in ten working residents of the St Neots built-up area travelled 10 km or more to work in the 2021 Census: 29%, against 19% across England and Wales. The longer measure points the same way, with 8.3% going 30 km or more, against 4.4%, even though census day fell during a lockdown. A car covering that kind of distance is a natural fit for Stage 1 remapping. In practice that means new fuel, boost and timing settings, loaded in software and kept within the engine's limits. On a diesel, extra mid-range torque makes overtaking and joining faster roads easier, and any effect on fuel use is modest and depends on how you drive.
