Has anyone done some accurate recordings to check if their ODO is out?
If you're complaining you're only getting 700km to a tank it could actually be closer to 800km...
My ODO was out about 10% on a roadside distance check and I've recorded a Google Maps trip that was out 8.5%. I haven't tried with a handheld GPS unit yet though.
Until you're recording your distance correctly your km's to a tank and "real" fuel economy you're looking at isn't correct.
If people can run some tests and post findings (along with tyre size) then we can see if this is a big part of the fuel problems.
