So before KM2's fitted with truck pretty much standard trim my speedo was reading +10% & my odometer we are assuming was accurate. So now I've fitted the over sized KM2's my speedo is reading correctly so now in effect -10%ish and this must mean that my odometer is now reading -10%!!! Is this correct?! As for each revolution of the wheel I'm now travelling further due to the increase in diameter of the tyre, but for each revolution of the wheel my odometer is still assuming that I have traveled the factory calibrated distance for that revolution
Ah, so hang on a mo' I'm actually travelling further in terms of distance than indicated assuming that my odometer was accurate in the first instance
So this must mean that when I did my resent fuel calcs using my odometer readings with my new KM2's fitted I'd actually gone further than I thought (roughly 10%) so this would give me new figures of..............hang on what were my original accurate figures

Just worked out all of my mpg's associated with my rescent trip to Wales a total of 643miles
Local driving the day before going 19.27mpg
Journey to wales A12, M25, M4 bla bla bla 228miles @ motorway speeds
19.57mpg
A days laning on Saturday 50/50 lanes & tarmac, lots of low range 99mile round trip 16.78mpg
A days laning on Sunday simular to Saturday 112miles 18.92mpg
Fast journey home from Wales @ motorway speeds
19.16mpg
Ah right so the average of all the tarmac driving is 19.33mpg so 19.33x1.1=21.26mpg
I can live with this as I don't hang about
and just to complete this then the off road element now comes to 19.64mpg
I also worked fuel consumption before I modded Fiery (fitted the KM2's, sliders, draw system etc) and on tarmac she was giving 24mpg
I hope this info helps you Nick with your thought process as it now all makes alot more sense to me, assuming my thought process is correct
