They have for some time read "fast", ie - accumulate more mileage than actual.
There may have been some remedy in this for owners. I don't recall whether there was or wasn't.

thanks for the concern, martin.
however, the discrepancies that i am experiencing are with the FCD, which shows real time fuel economy. i find that it reads a little high, but it's not a problem since i figure my actual FE mathematically. it gives me a general idea of where i am and how my driving is affecting my mileage.
i believe the odometer is pretty close to right on from testing it on some longer stretches where i figured the distance through a map plotting website.........
