Ratio would be about 5.25. You would have to double the number to compensate for turning only one wheel.

If, in the above example, both wheels were turned (in the same direction) one revolution, the DS would have turned 5¼ revs, and so, would show the actual ratio.

One could also turn one wheel twice, to get the actual ratio.

None of this applies, in cases where only one wheel turns while the car is being driven.
