This is true -- very true. Yet, as one molds their life around the odometer and fuel receipt, it is disruptive to the "norm", but ya know it's no big deal: fuel was saved and it was a simple mistake. A reminder to recall the odo on the next fill is all I ask. I know it will happen, but it takes a friendly reminder.
