"Just put a new 25 tooth odometer gear in sedan. Driving I-95 today I started watching the mile markers against my odometer and for every 2 miles my odometer reads 2.1 miles. It's not just because of the new gear as I've noticed this before I changed the gear too. I'm running standard tire size, but always have. Anybody else ever notice this?

1988 w/ 182,925 on the odo. I've owned it since new."


I'm suprised that nobody questioned the original post in the case of "watching the mile markers". The mile markers on the highway are not accurate enough for me. If you want to be as close to accurate as you can you'll need to find yourself a "Measured Mile" sign. They usually have a white stripe painted across the road, or partially across, for you to see at the start and finish. These are usually found on a straight, level stretch of highway or interstate and are actually what they say they are... a Measured Mile.
