What would you rather have for your x-type, better fuel economy or more horsepower?

Well said Ltmax!

If I had the money a remap would be the best option, more oomph and better economy!

More horsepower would need a beefier TC or that HP gets expensive in a hurry...

what? Like I am the only one that would be having fun dumping the clutch and playing with that added HP?

Yea, I am pretty happy with the horsepower my car has... I think if it got a few more miles to the gallon that would be more practical than horsepower which would burn more fuel and probably damage the car.
