    ok i think i know how this works but i just wanna make sure.

    the trip meter, odometer, and speedometer are all tied in together right? and if thats right then if my speed is off by 10% then my miles and trip will be off also, correct?

    i was drivin somewhere and it dawned on me that i may be getting better mpgs than i expect because my speed is off by 10%.
