You also have to take into consideration that as your tires wear down, the numbers will change. As the tires wear the travel distance for one revolution is less than it was when they were brand new.

in the end, gas mileage isn't a big concern for the both of us i think.
according to my calculations, i am going to fill up the gas tank twice or three times in 2011 based upon my driving habit. i filled up the gas tank at the beginning of the year and have only driven 90 miles to date
