What I do is use a calibration factor when I enter my miles and gallons. I know my larger tires need 106% to calculate the true distance. So I enter the corrected value in the miles but indicated miles and odometer in the comments.

In aviation, we had a magnetic compass correction card, usually just a few degrees, but over five hours at 120 mph, a few degrees is landing at the wrong airport. <grins>
