I just ran a "there and back" showing 32.4 miles there, 32.4 miles back, 64.8 total. Decided to test my mechanical trip meter at the same time, and it's within a hundredth or so of 64.8 also. I'm running the GoWesty 16" wheels with the larger-than-stock tires, though, which "correct" my speedometer's error. Perhaps the odometers record high just like the speedo does?
