Also did a few calculations... My tyres are 2" larger diameter than stock and according to the GPS the speed is reading 12% low..
400 km by odometer is really 400 X 1.12 = 448KM
It took 70 Lts to fill the tank so that makes 448km per 70Lt= 16.6 Lt/100Km not the 17.5 on the display..
I will get my speedo re-calibrated next week ...
The moral is that after the big tyres went on the (apparent) fuel consumption went up..
Wrong its the same as before although the 3 1/2" lift knocked it around a bit.
Good for re-sale Brian if you leave it
