Stage 1 remapping in West Molesey
The car was a minority choice for the journey to work in West Molesey in the 2021 Census: 29.2% of working residents in the built-up area drove, against 45.1% across England and Wales. That census was taken during a lockdown, so commuting was lower than usual everywhere. Car ownership was still high, with 42.2% of households running two or more cars, above the 35.4% for England and Wales. If your car does more family and weekend miles than commuting, Stage 1 remapping still has something to offer. The engine's fuel, boost and timing settings are changed in software and kept within its limits. On a diesel, stronger mid-range torque makes a loaded car or a trailer easier to pull, and any change in fuel use is modest.
