    I'll just pull this out of my ass:
    You'll need to reprogram (with a tuner) whatever it is that reads the wheel speed sensor if you are running wheels/tires that do not equal stock diameter or the diameter has changed since you last tuned it.
    The rest is sensed by your fuel pump's floaty doodad (so that's not wrong) and your O2 sensor... which isn't wrong, either, unless you broke it.

    Tires are stock sizes... I wouldn't think the fuel pump floatie calculated how hard you were pressing on the gas.

    o2 sensor is windeband but read by the ECU correctly.

    Nope. It's what tells the gauge how much gas is in the tank. You're looking for throttle position sensor, if I'm not mistaken.

    I'm too stupid to know what you're trying to tell me here. Could you rephrase that, please?

    Hmm, by "hardware," do you mean "injectors?" I don't think that or E85 is going to affect your readings.
