Re: Tacoma Gas Mileage

It seems to me that you might be running into an issue with your speedometer
being off. It's calibrated to the factory tire size. In my mind, IF you go
further in one revolution of the tire, then really you are going further
then the speedometer is reading and hence, your mileage is a bit better then
it shows.
