Does anyone know the formula for finding out your MPG with 31" tires? I havent had my spedometer adjusted yet so my odometer counts slow. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />

How have you been my friend??? Fill up your tank, set the trip odometer, burn your gas...Then get the total miles travelled on that tank of gas NEXT---Fill up tank and see how many Gals. it took to fill up ----then divide the two which should = your mile to gallon! I average 18-20 miles per gallon ( I know that sucks but nuke had the same problem) still wondering why???? Hope this Helps!!!! Mike <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

...and then after that, knowing the measured diameter of original tires (let's say 28 inches), multiply the result obtained above by 31/28. (since the car will have been driven more actual miles than indicated because the larger size tires will rotate a lesser number of turns for travelling same distance).

ok so after doing the normal equation, I multiplied the number by 1.14285 (which is 32 divided by 28) I got 21.17 miles to the gallon. Is this similar to what your guys are getting? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />

@ 60 mph average with stock 205's I'm getting between 24-25 mpg. My car is very sensitive to increased speed. If I'm doing 70 mph I only get about 22 mpg. Everet <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />

I've clocked mine with a GPS and I know I'm 16% off. At 50 I'm doing 58 so that means every 100 miles on the o-meter I'm going 116 miles. All Kais' came with 205s which are 27.1 inches tall (205 / .75 x 24.5 x 2 + 15 = 27.1). 25.4 converts mm to inches. Your should be the same as mine.
Hope that helps, Dennis

I just noticed I did the formula wrong. I did 32/28, which is ok cause the old tires were 27" and my now one's are 31". It had the same result. give or take a half mile or so. he he. I'm still interested on wht everyones gas milage is. I have one of the few SOHC engines which I hate for hills but it still runs well and gets decient MPG. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />
