In trying to calculate MPG for my new EX-L, i tested the accuracy of the odometer. In a 100 mile test, I discovered it was reading 3% low (showed 97 miles). Have any of you determined the error rate of your odometers? What is the range of error rate? Thanks

Replying to: modula2 (Apr 14, 2008 7:50 am)  As for MPG - the difference is totally insignificant. 100/6 gallons = 16.66,, 97/6 = 16.66, 300/12 = 25, 291/12= 24.25 |

I sure don't! a 3% error if this is for real is nothing. I don't think a speedometer/odometer was ever meant to be a precision measuring devise. |

| ....if you have the extra cash, get the V6. The gas mileage between the 4 and the 6 is negligible. At least that is what i think i will be doing after reading a lot of these posts. | |
