Tuning Down Fuel Costs
Paramount Performance is now offering a range of Diesel engine tuning services that will reduce the fuel consumption of most modern diesel engined vehicles from between 10-16%. For a driver with an annual mileage of 20,000 miles this can equate to a potential saving of circa £500 per year, or almost the equivalent of driving free of charge from London to Newcastle every month.
With fuel prices at an all time high and the wave of recent fuel price protests, tuning of this nature is becoming very popular, gone are the days when engine tuning was for boy racers and all about performance, these days its all about economy. Most vehicles can be covered by Paramount's "eco tuning" services.
Two options are available, either a ECU remap, commonly known as "chipping" or a plug and play tuning box, which can be pre programmed by Paramount for best effect and fuel economy.
Paramount's tuning boxes can also be purchased by mail order, they take around 15 minutes to fit, and costs just £299 plus VAT. The system can also be transferred from an existing vehicle to another when its time for a change, so the initial investment can be amortised over many years and several vehicles.
Paramount operates a 2400bhp, 4-wheel drive rolling road - one of the most powerful and technically advanced in the country. This allows them to fully test and understand how the vehicle is running so that they can ensure you will get the very best from their tuning and ensure the vehicle is running at it optimum performance and economy. However, for those you want a door to door service Paramount also offers a full UK wide mobile tuning solution.
Said Paramount's Managing Director Paul Busby, "With the cost of diesel reaching ever new heights, every minute reduction in fuel consumption is money back in a driver's pocket. From the minute the tuning is carried out you are saving money without any loss in performance. High mileage drivers will recoup their outlay in no time at all, after which their annual savings will be potentially phenomenal.
And, for those that want their cake and eat it, Paramount can also carry out a version of the same tuning, which offers an increase in power and torque, combined with a slightly more modest improvement in economy.
Further details of the Paramount's tuning and economy services can be found at www.paramount-performance.com or by calling +44 (0)1753 533633. Based in Slough, the company can supply similar economy systems for 4x4s, vans and HGVs, some of which offer savings of up to 20%.
Paramount also markets performance tuning packages and related accessories for a whole range of road and race cars including Minis, Aston Martins, Jaguars and Porsches.
