Checked your odometer, lately?

Greetings,

We went on a family day trip yesterday (to go watch a UMass men's rugby game), and I took advantage of the mile markers (every 0.2 miles) they have along Route 2 to check the accuracy of the xD's odometer. I reset the Trip B odometer as I past the 100 mile mark, and then I watched as I drove along. The result was that the odometer is reading ~3% too low -- it is off by slightly more than 0.8 miles over 26 miles. In other words, the odometer finally read 26 miles when I past the 26.8 mile marker.

If you have not checked your odometer -- it might be reading too few or too many miles, so it is worth checking for better accuracy of your FE.
