---Does anyone know whether the odometers are correct, even if the speedometer is off several %, and whether it reads higher than the actual miles traveled?
Your observations are very correct. Most are off 3%-5%. My 360 is about 5%.I have not figured that one out as to the rationale.
We can only assume that the mileage is accurate but the speed is not. However, that is an assumption, and the only way to know is to drive a known mile marker.
I remember back East that there were many roads that had a 1, 2, and 3 mile marks to enable one to verify speed and odo readings.
I would guess that the mileage is accurate but you raise a valid point as this would certainly wind the warranty mileage aspect faster than it should be!
let's all check mileage and find out.
