This gives me about an 8 percent error but also boosts me to 11 mpg @ 48 mph.

Don ... I've never reset my E450's speedometer.
According to the tracking of our Garmin navigator unit, our speedometer reads about 0.5 MPH low ... which is pretty much trivial. I don't tightly track our gas mileage and drive well below speed limits, so speedometer accuracy is not that important.
However, I believe that your over-stock-diameter tires probably introduce a more (serious) speedometer error? (My 215/85R16 tires are only 1.2 inches larger diameter than the stock tires that ship on most Chevy/Ford/Sprinter based Class C motorhomes.)

Hi Phil,
Were you able to have your speedometer/odometer reset so the readings are accurate? Or did you just ignore the difference?

Nevertheless I do still improve our V10's fuel mileage just a bit by using larger diameter tires on our Class C (to make overdrive even more "over") and by cruising between 57 and 60 MPH.

I have no idea what kind of mileage I get on my 'C' pulling a Jeep toad four down, but I know its lousy. After all, I'm driving a house. Compared to hotel/motels in a car, its cheap and cleaner.
Advantages? I have my "stuff" with me. I know when the sheets were changed last. Not just top sheet on the bottom and a clean sheet on top. I don't have to eat in restaurants unless I want to. I don't have to wonder when the toilet was cleaned last. I don't have to wear shower shoes to avoid athlete's foot or shoes to keep my socks from sticking to the carpet. Or deal with "free TV" that gets two local stations. Or wonder about the "mystery meat" that was put in front of me in a restaurant that was highly recommended at check in and run (as it turns out) by a relative of the owner/operator. Obviously, I traveled for the company when I was still working. No thanks.
