Correct for incorrect miles due to tire being some percent different than the trip computer was calibrated for. Maybe possible differences due to short trips & many cool downs for a given tank of gas. Possibly, the use of 100% ethanol-free gasoline instead of 10% ethanol blends may cause differences.
