Calculate your MPG as per the ODO in the normal manner, then multiply by 1.102.

I was planning on using google maps and calculating the mileage by using the known miles from one location to the other... but I think your method is a bit easier. Thanks.

As for the muffler...
After I tried the Flowmaster Super40 and loved the sound but hated the MPG, torque loss, etc... I went with a Cherry Bomb Vortex. This is very similar internally to the Flowmaster, with an added element... glass packed innerds!
Noise level... if the Flowmaster was a 10 at it's loudest, the Vortex is a 7.
Performance/Torque... Stock is a 10, Flowmaster is a 5, and the Vortex is a 9! Barely any loss. (Rephrase... barely any loss now that the computer is reset!)
MPG... Stock I had max range of 370 miles. Flowmaster, around 327. Vortex... 411. BUT, before I did the computer reset, the Vortex had 327ish too... So, it's very possible that the Flowmaster could have been better if I had known about the reset trick back then.

Also note... I'm NOT a Grandpa on the road either...
AND, this is the 3rd week in a row that I've had mileage in the 400 range.

Now... before I get too excited. Could someone tell me the variance to multiply by for 255-55-18 tires?
Being that these are wider than stock and not taller (by much) I don't see the numbers changing too much. Could be wrong...

Thank you!
Here's a website I just found that lets you compare tires sizes and the exact difference in ODO readings. Wider shouldn't be a problem but the height will throw the ODO off because one rotation of the stock tire will go a further/shorter distance than a differently sized tire.
