Talking Lie-o-meter

I can't help with an answer but I do know they run better when the speedometer is correctly calibrated. Ford told me that calbration was an intrical part of fuel delivery. Mine has only shown better mileage on the lie-o-meter with all my mod's. Doe's any body know if the magnetic district being wrong could effect the mileage readings?

Smoker,

It's HIGHLY unlikely that an incorrect magnetic variation setting would have any effect except on the accuracy of the compass readout.

Why not set yours to the correct variation for your locale? It's not difficult. The procedure is in the owner's manual.

Oh thats funny, I don't care hoo you are. I had to go outside and get it. I've had this truck for 4 years, got it in Clearwater, Florida. I thought they were set up that way from the factory. I guess I'll go to the grocery store and drive in circles tomorrow. Thanks
