I have 155/80/13's on my car...according to my gps and driving them for at least a year now, I am off by about 3 1/2 mph. 65 = 68 - 69 mph. I have to multiply my mileage by 1.1 and then do my mpg figures. I believe my car is also running rich and I pull 33-34 mpg running the air constantly with back roads long distance driving....no freeway.

Never had a gps to track mine. I know when I set at 5 below whatever the speed limit I'm right with traffic and based on our Escape it's pretty accurate. 1.1 is that number right? I multiply mine times 7.9% which is what the calc on miata.net states... could be a bit high. Alot of factors in those numbers all tires aren't equal.

I figured I am off by 1/10th of a mile in a mile stretch. I have measured it for a long time.....when I am turning 9/10'ths I am at the mile marker every time.

Hmm I was thinking you meant percent. By your number I get about 6/10 more mile per gallon.. interesting!
