ok who is good at..........

MATHS ........

Right due to having bigger wheels my trip on the truck is out

So if on a known run of 4.2 miles the truck clocks up 3.6 can someone create a formule to help me keep abreast of my true mileage

sorry chap,im retarded when it comes to maths,i have trouble counting my own fingers.

abreast .boobs again

abreast .boobs again

Sorry cannot miss them here

[TobyJug]

check it on your satnav and write it down?

nah seriously I am sure someone good at maths will come round soon and tell u....

could you not even it up say go a known distance of 10 miles on your sat nav and then record the same distance on your odometer that would be easier to work out.

simply times your milage by 1.1666666666666666666666666666 66666666666667

It might be a bit more complicated than you think old bean.
You can usually use distance/ time (ie 60 mph = 60 miles in 1 hour) but as your speed increases so does your error increase,and possibly decrease expedentially.
you will need to know your speed and distance travelled with respect to the error

Distance wise, 4.2 miles comes across as 3.6 miles...well thats easy enough to deal with. A simple ratio of the two gives you a difference of approx 0.85..this is just a coefficent but points you towards a figure of each mile driven has only 85 ish percent recorded.Its the difference in speedo reading you possibly need to use a bit of calculus for...and its a bit of a ball ache.

Nah he has been to big school

[BUSHWHACKER]

I calculate that if you want to fit hooooooge tyres to your truck, why worry about milage/mpg??
