hey guys how can i calculate how many miles and all that when my speedo is 5 under what im actually doing? i know there is a formula to this. when it says 50 im actually doing 55

[Isakson]

speed ur doin + 5 mph.... idk if there is a formula just messin with u

[Clay Henry]

the error between 55 and 50 is 9% so calculate your milage and multiply the result by 1.09
If you calculate 16 mpg X 1.09 = 17.4 mpg

[Clay Henry]

Or you could add 9% to the odometer reading so instead of 400 miles, you traveled 436 or 9% further.

I am running the same size tires as you and mine is off by a factor of 1.057. So say 400 miles on a tank would equal... 400x1.057 = 422.8 actual miles.

hope this helps ya!
