I get yelled at instead.

 

No more tire swing out??

 

Depends on AT v. MT and regearing will play a factor of course. I multiply my ODO * .9 and then divide by the gallons I put in to get my accurate MPGs.

 

That makes me not feel good about it.

This is true also, I've heard the mt's don't get as good milage.

 

Your on 35's, what would I multiply by if I'm on 33's? Math not my strong suit

 

To find my number I used a couple GPS units and freeway mile markers (as a sanity check) to get to .9. For every one mile I put on the odometer I found I was only traveling 9/10 of a mile. So this messes with my MPG and service intervals.

You should try it out and see where you're at. Math camp is fun and all but with so many tire size variations out there, everyone is going to have slight different results.

 

Stickarz!!!

 

Thanks guys I'll try it out.

 

That wouldn't differ your distance traveled though

 

The ODO would also be affected.

 

This is how it works

Let's say I am running 265/75/16 and a I move up to 285/75/16

That there is a 7.5% increase because

285-265=20 and 20/265=0.075=7.5%

Now all you need to do is add 7.5% to your ODO each time. So if your ODO is at 250 when you fill up.

250*0.075= 18.75 250+18.75= 268.75 Actual Distance Traveled

 

Now calculate it with being re geared to 4.56 with 35's and a Manual transmission...

 

Bahaha no thanks

 

All this math. HURT MY BRAIN.

 

and it made you grow a 3rd arm!
