   As a side note, Car and Driver magazine had an article on the issue of odometer and speedometer accuracy at http://www.caranddriver.com/features/1906/...er-scandal.html. The results XML link is dead but this link works: http://www.caranddriver.com/features/1907/...er-scandal.html.

   A local tv show (Driving Television) did a 200km "Hybrid Commuter Challenge" route and the Accord read 207kms while the Prius read 200kms. The other cars were in between.
   
   That's within 4% but still, that's quite a bit. At 60,000kms, that's an extra 2,100kms! Or with my driving, that's about an extra 2 months of warranty.
