Yesterday morning my Civic's odometer rolled over 100,000 miles and for the first time I noticed that when I switch it from kilometers to miles the mileage is slightly different! For example, right now it has 100,022 miles on it but when I switch it back to km it reads 161,035. If you do a proper miles to km conversion it should actually read 160,969! (or conversely, if you converted the km reading of 161,035 to miles then the mileage is actually 100,062 miles!) I wonder why the conversion is so far off? On my Corvette when I switch it back and forth it reads properly. Has anyone else with a Honda noticed this? I know that no odometer is going to be 100% accurate due to different circumferences of tires (even with the same tire from full tread depth to low tread for example) but it still seems odd that the conversion from one to the other is not even correct.
