Hi folks,

I have a question about using oversize (195/70R15) tires on my 740GLE sedan. I have been able to tell that my speedometer is mostly correct versus real speed... but what about versus mileage? I seem to be making 20.5 mpg in the city, but I wondered if those numbers were artificially depressed by oversize tires.

Thanks!

Ari
