260miles/10gallons=26mpg. - wrong
260miles*.957=252.2. 252.2/10gallons=25.2mpg
Although, if the old tires on the truck aren't the original size, find the original size and google search a tire size calculator to find out the percentage they're off. I have to do the same thing with my ford ranger except backwards cuz I put taller tires on to bring the rpm's lower while cruising.
