my speedometer/odometer is almost exactly 10% slow. I have used a gps to determine that if my speedo reads 50mph, I'm actually going 55mph, 70mph means 77mph and so on. so I use that formula for figuring my mpg also. If the odometer reads 300 miles I use 330 for my calculations.

We have a smell of fuel from the engine compartment, but no noticeable leaks. I was wondering if anybody has any ideas. There is moisture around the fuel filter but it is not wet.
