Honda just settled a class action law suit for odometers that tallied the
miles too fast. Assuming they fixed the problem to avoid any more lawsuits,
it is likely that all the other cars were wrong.

You might try watching the odometer as you pass 40 or 50 mile markers along
the side of the highway. That will tell you how close it is to correct.
