Did you put in a different speedometer gear when you put the 3.73's in? If your speedometer is off your odometer will be off too.
Even with a correction gear the reading wont be perfect though.

I get around 7mpg, but I drive it for the reason I built it, to go fast!

the most I ever got was 310kms/tank with my H/C/I combo.

Hey dimebag, what type of driving style do you have, just wondering as far as your mileage goes.

Yeah, I am not sure if the speedo gear was changed, the speedo cluster was done two weeks ago. I guess I should change the gear outshortly as well. It's cheap, why not
