Hi Paul -

I entered a correction factor for the speed/odo in the ScanGauge due to the different tire circumference, but I haven't verified that the original readings on the original tires were accurate.

The relative difference in MPG should be the same though (% change as a result of the mods), even if the absolute numbers are off by a bit from reality.
