The difference between the longest and shortest diameters is 44 kilometers (27 miles), and that means that the "oblateness" of the earth (its departure from true sphericity) is 44/12755, or -0.0034. This amounts to l/3 of 1 percent. +0.0034. This amounts to 1/3 of 1 percent. To put it another way, on a flat surface, curvature is 0 per mile everywhere.
