MPG question.
 
So, my last tank of gas I got about 300 miles, about average for my ranger.

317miles /20gallons = Almost 16mpg.

But I was thinking, my speedometer is about 4-5 mph slow, (ex - Going 64, shows 60) Meaning, the truck thinks I am going slower, and then traveling less distance? My miles would be a little behind too, correct?

Meaning...I have better MPG that it shows?

Yeah, and that would be fine with me, because...more MPG the better.

haha i know right, i got the truck with a little bit more miles than i wanted so i dont drive it crazy but it should last me a long time. i also want to drive it a little bit on the highway but i will get better mpg but the highway gets me more miles, but i still save money with going highway cus of mpg even though its more miles

You have a gps to get the miles, might show how far off your speedometer is at the same time.

Good idea!

Had to stop using the stock speedo and installed the gps in the dash, heck of a difference between the two. The only problem is when you got crappy reception after turning it on and knocks the mileage off for the first five minutes of driving.
