Hey guys, so finally had a chance to get a full tank, and drive a good amount of 99% highway driving and trying to get as accurate number as I can. Only thing I'm having an issue with is compensating for my bigger tires and my speedo not being calibrated for it. Anyone know how to do that?
Here's my numbers:
Trip meter = 425.8 (has 285/70/17s when speedo is set for 265/75/16s so this is biggest concern)
Used 22.3 gallons of diesel
Hand crunching those numbers still comes out to 19mpgs which isn't terrible but pretty sure it's a little different due to tires/speedo being off. Thanks in advance!
Heck you can get on the OBDLink LX or MX dongles and log it on your tablet or phone. The OBDLink App was just updated to include tire offset so you can get correct mileage records.
