For some good news, you may want to check your odometer's calibration. On My HiHy, the odometer runs fast by 1.5%. When the trip mileage display indicates 100 miles, I actually have traveled 98.5 miles. This improves your MPG by 1.5% over both the MPG meter and manual calculation using miles and gallons. quote]


ERROR: I got this backward. The odometer runs SLOW. When the the trip odometer reads 98.5 miles, I have actually traveled 100 miles. This improves MPG by about 1.5 % and lengthens your mileage warranty.
