Odometer Accuracy

[lwleedy]

How accurate is your odometer? I was going down the interstate and hit the reset when I passed a mile marker. 100 miles later my odometer show 95.6 miles. A fiend of mine works for DOT and I asked him how accurate the markers were and he said they were on the button.

I don't have my portable GPS since I got the RX400 Nav unit. I could check it by running both.

Anyway has anyone checked their odometer?

Thanks,

Lenny

I will have to check mine with my GPS. I hope mine is the same because it will mean my warranty will last about 5% longer.

It depends on the tires' inflation and wear level......

4.4% is probably within reasonable tolerance.

In 100 miles you could probably accomplish that much variation by always being on the inside of most of the curves.

The odometer on my 07 400h was accurate but the speedometer was off by approximately 3 mph. It read higher than actual... I checked it against a Garmin GPSMap 76C...
