Question about MPG calculation
I have heard from a few people on here that if you have bigger tires you need to use a certain calculation to figure out your actual MPG.
For example, I would take the number of miles I got the tank and multiple it 1.09. That would compensate my new tires size. I would then divide by the number of gallons like usual.
My question is, is this legit or fake?

here's the easy way:
Tire Size Calculator - tire & wheel plus sizing
enter in stock tire size, enter new tire size, they tell you the difference.

Jake. There are several ways to do this. The web site above is good if you have large tires. I like this one myself.
Tire size calculator (Works best with tires under 30" tall.)
Another way to do it is just check your odometer against the mile markers on the sides of most roads. A 10 mile trip will give you a good idea. The further you go the more accurate you'll be. If you drive 10 miles and your odo reads 10.3, your speedo is off by +3%. If it reads 9.7 you're off by -3%. Use whatever system works for you.
