The answer my Friend is
It depends.
I have not worked on a car, ever, that ran the Odo backward.
Newer cars, 1996 & up usually, the Odo runs forward all the time. Even when you back up.
Try backing down your street in the middle of the night sometime. You will see that the Speedo registers road speed and the Odo goes up .1 mile.
Older cars, cable and gear driven stuff, the Odo stops and the Speedo stop when you reverse.
No loss of miles but no gain either.
You are not crazy.
I am sure others were waiting for you to ask.
