It all depends upon which tires you purchase...some cause you to be off by more than others, variances between manufacturers.

Seatbelt was off temporarily to move the seat back enough for the camera to focus on the speedo.

I'm a huge proponent of seatbelt use (I work in an ER...)

No maintence light on... Just the seatbelt and cruise control lights...

Thanks!

And, for all those paying attention, I'm getting great gas mileage this tank

i'm riding on stock tires, and when i drove by one of those things at 25 on my speedo, the radar thing read 22. you can't be sure those radar thingees are accurate. i think the difference in tire size only accounts for about 2% of the discrepancy.

that mileage is insane. my gauge is off though, i think. I usually get to the half mark at 100 miles. but when i fill up, the gauge is almost at the E, and it only takes 8-9 gals.

i find that my fuel gauge shows that i get over 250km (JDM gauge) for a half tank and only 150 for the second half...so its grossly inaccurate, i think that the only thing that works near enough to accurate is the fuel light, the gauge is justa rough (very rough) indicator!

BTW what gear were you in...3rd???

i am asking why is the rpm high when u'r on cruise control going 35 mph .. shouldn't it be below 2500 when u'r just cruising at 35 mph .. seems to me the rpm is a little too high ..

You can't really tell if you're getting good mpg or not until you get down below the halfway mark. On my last tank I got over 380 miles! I also put in about 11.5 gallons!
