Odometer reading vs hour meter reading
I've recorded the mileage and hours at each fill-up and oil change since my truck was purchased. I got to thinking about this because of a thread about idling and another about warm up time, etc. I don't have to let my PSD idle much at start-up because of where I live.
What's your trucks odometer vs hour meter reading?

20047 miles, 389.1 hours. average 51.5 mph???
If my math is right, this doesn't seem accurate.
I have taken 2 round trips of about 600 miles each way (2400 miles total) that were almost all highway miles, at around 70-75 mph. Throw in a few 'pit stops' along the way if it makes any difference.
Other than that, almost all the rest of my miles have been about 70% city/30% highway.
I guess I never gave it any thought, and am not sure it matters anyway, but I find it hard to beleive that I have averaged 51.5 mph for 20k miles.
Anyway, you asked....I answered. I love this site!!
