[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1009484, member: 52972"] Dean, Good job. It sounds like you did an accurate test and the results show what most people would expect to get from a 2003, Gen-1 Sport Trac which is right about the same MPG I got with my 2001 and 2003 Sport Tracs....but not the inaccurate 25.5 MPG you originally posted I also suspected that your ProScan and Sport Trac Odometer would get close to the same mileage because they are both using the VSS for Speedometer and Odometer readings, but I am surprised that your VSS is that accurate and so close to the actual mileage...Most are off by a lot more. My Hyundai Speedometer/odometer is off by nearly one mile in a measured 10 miles? Also, the Hyundai's MPG trip computer was very close to my UltraGauge reading over a combined 2400 mile trip....So, perhaps the Speedometer/odometer digital gages are inaccurate, but the VSS is closer to correct? ...Rich [/QUOTE]
