Mileage calculator

Is the 2000 Excursion capable of having the speedometer calibrated electronically ?
The speedometer was off by two MPH.
At 65 MPH reading the actual speed was 63 MPH.
Moved up one tire size and now the speedo is exact.
One problem , the fuel mileage calculator is no longer accurate.
Reads 14 MPG when actual mileage is closer to 20 MPG.
Info appreciated.

Yes it should. Dealer or hand held tuner should be able to adjust it.

If it is exact, you do not have to calibrate anything. The computers are usually off anyway. Mine says 16.9 but I only get 14.5 around town.
