Stage 1 remapping in Weymouth
Picket Post Services on the A31 is the closest listed service area to Weymouth, and it is 56.8 km away. The next two, Taunton Deane and Bridgwater on the M5, are 61.7 km and 64.7 km off. Long journeys show up in the 2021 Census too: 9.4% of working residents in the Weymouth built-up area travelled 30 km or more to work, more than double the England and Wales figure of 4.4%. Stage 1 remapping gives a diesel more torque in the middle of the rev range, through a software change to fuel, boost and timing within the engine's limits. Overtakes are easier and hills need fewer downshifts, with or without a trailer.
