Divide by 28?... I would say start with a full tank and divide by how ever much it takes to fill it back up... Unless you have the long bed with the 37 gallon tank, I doubt that you're actually using 28 gallons between fill upsdo you remember what you averaged befor the lift say 340 per tank for example. so take what your averaging now and divide that by 28. So if I get 320 now divided by 28 is 11.43 miles per gallon. Also I think its correct b/c the rotation is greater and will show accordingly.

That what I do but how far off is the odo cause of the taller tires?Divide by 28?... I would say start with a full tank and divide by how ever much it takes to fill it back up... Unless you have the long bed with the 37 gallon tank, I doubt that you're actually using 28 gallons between fill ups

true true, your are rt. I wanted to give an exampe but yours is the correct way to do it.You aren't out of gas when you fill up.
Top off a full tank of gas (28 gallons, approximately). Reset your trip to 0. Drive until you need to get some go go juice again. Top off your tank. Check how many gallons of gas you put in. Divide the trip mileage, by how many gallons you put in at that very moment.
Example, (real numbers from today): I topped it off a few days ago, giving me 28 gallons total. I drove 250 miles. I topped it off again with 28 gallons. There is obviously gas left in the tank. I put in 25 gallons. I divided the trip mileage, (250), by the gallons that I just put in, (25). That gives me 10 mpg.
My attempt to give a quick example was incorrect and misleading. You guys are rt in resetting the odometer and then on the next fill up divide miles traveled by how many gallons to top it off.Divide by 28?...

my gps was about 3mph faster. my odometer was 5.5% less than the trip on the gps. ex.(300 on odo and 317 on gps) i did this at least 25 times and always came up with the same. so with that being said i add 5.5% to my miles then divide by the numbers of gallons of gas. oh i forgot, i got the 2.93 gearsI had a question it seems like my speedo is never more than 2 mph off checked against a gps app on my phone. What my question is how much is my odometer off now for gas mileage calculations

yes and yesSo that means when I go to sell my T I will have more miles than it really shows?! :eyebrow:
This is why my BDGT gives me a mpg of around 11.3-11.5 then, instead of the 10 mpg I get doing it myself.
It's actually yes and no... The truck will have traveled farther than what it says on the odometer when it comes time to sell..So that means when I go to sell my T I will have more miles than it really shows?! :eyebrow:
