    US Diesel's big splash introduction

    I get 42 (US) on long journeys at a steady 70mph and 37 with only short journeys. If I reset the average mpg while cruising at 70mph then stays around 48 if there are no really steep inclines. Mine is the 148bhp 2013 UK diesel.

    Chip. I don't want to lose a tune through dealer servicing. I sense it's much easier to achieve a reasonable result with diesels and chips.

    Will a dealer service overwrite an ecu remap?

    I'm considering a diesel remap for my 2013. When I've taken the car in for a service with a mazda dealer, invariably, one of the functions performed is, "ECU/software updates" If there was a new update from mazda, would that erase any ecu remap I'd received from a tuner?
