about her Subaru... she'll go for strictly accurate OEM gauges all day. I tested her OEM tire/ODO combination yesterday: 99.6% accurate against the Garmin GPS.



Tested my own car further today: OEM odometer showed 21.7 when my calibrated Ultra Gauge showed 23.01 and Garmin showed 23.0 for 94.35% accuracy OEM to GPS. That's a 5.65% undercount, and I have been calibrating my fuel log at 5.5%.
I suppose my caomment were more directed at male ecomodders!!!

My girl friend is probably the same........ but if I up size her.....then she'd really be going slower.....(w/o her knowledge ) and that would be a good thing!!!
