Re: Speedometer/Leather Questions
Back from a trip from Tucson to San Diego. I did a mile marker check over 20 miles, and the odometer was off (reading low) by 3/10 in 20 miles. Thats 1.5%. So, at the end of an indicated 36,000 miles (b2b warranty) I will have actually received an extra 540 miles of warranty coverage. lol
As I stated earlier, it seems that my speedometer is off by 3mph (reading high)..when I see an indicated 40, the roadside radar trailer set up by local police indcates 37. I am not happy about this speedometer reading low by 3mph, but doubt there is any easy fix. I also wonder if my previous Toyotas were also off by this same amount. I may have to take my (previous driver and now my wife's) ICE 05 Highlander out for a spin by the radar one of these days.
BTW, I averaged 39.6mpg going westbound, which includes elevation changes from 2800 ft, to (minus)-200 feet to around 5,000 feet and back to sea level. Average speed 75-80mph, A/C on constant, but this info is for another thread.
