    Does this also apply to ECU remaps?

    Only the bad ones...

    A good tune will provide excellent economy and performance even in urban cycle.

    As far as I'm aware, unlike a plug-in box, no ECU map applies across all Terrain Response settings - only the 'normal' setting. However, in this setting the fuel economy is generally better than with the plug-in boxes, at least for urban motoring.

    Cheers,

    Don't think that a remap will do much for the V8. You need a better exhaust and a supercharger.
