Calculated odometer accuracy based on current readings compared with mile markers in Oregon. Looks like car underreports miles by 2% now after coding change. :) Raw data: Miles: 126 297.6 208. 82 377.9. 80.8 1.5% 253. 127 421.9. 124.3 2.1% 271. 145 439.7. 142.1 2.0% 254.2 82 122. 40 markers 293.4. 39.2 car 2.0%
