[General comment: I used to frequent a board like this often enough that they made me a moderator. I saw people get aggravated at seeing the same question umpteen gazillion times. The ones getting aggravated tended to be frequent visitors themselves. I suggested that they spend the energy making FAQs rather than ranting at n00bs. We got some good FAQs.]

2MPG in a pickup truck is nothing to sneeze at, is it? I don't drive one, but I'd assume that 2MPG is probably somewhere around 10% improvement.

I'm very interested in hearing how one might go about using a scangauge to correct for speedometer error brought on by changing tire diameter from stock.
