I think My car's odometer is screwed up
94 accord. Mechanical odometer.
I noticed something weird. On top of the odometer, there is the meter that constantly rolls when you drive. It tells you how many miles you have driven that week. Well, here's what's weird. It's at 14.5 miles, and then suddenly, the odometer rolls to the next mile. Example: The odometer is reading 1000, the meter above the odometer rolls to 14.5, when the odometer rolls to 1001. WTF? Shouldn't the meter roll to 15.0 before the odometer rolls to 1001? That's an example, but I hope someone can answer this. |

If you mean, should the trip odometer change to x.0 when the main odometer rolls to the next full mile, the answer is no. The trip odometer measures from the point you reset it. Unless you happen to reset it just as the main odo flips to the next mile, they won't be in synch. |
