actually, i check my mileage via mile markers on trips like that. i also do the conversions on the odometer to actual mileage in my cars... for example, my wife's car reads 1 mile for every 1.1 travelled... so we do the conversion for her mileage as Yx1.1=mpg on my pink notch it is Yx.92=mpg so yes, my 30-34 is acurate! now here is the weird thing... it got the 34mpg traveling at my highest sustained speed average. that was very unexpected! > > From: Jim Adney <jadney@vwtype3.org> > Date: 2005/06/07 Tue AM 11:45:24 EST > To: type3@vwtype3.org > Subject: Re: [T3] Woodburn show and drags > > On 7 Jun 2005 at 9:14, Toby Erkson wrote: > > > People often forget that wheel changes will affect the odometer > > reading.
