    Default Km's going up too quickly???

    Just took a 10min drive to the fish&chip store and before I went my Km's sat on 151,700 exact.

    Came back home 10minutes later, 151,704.

    Is this normal? I did not think Km's went up so fast?
    speed was 50 there and back.

    Speed shouldn't make a difference. So, you didn't drive 4k's?

    sounds right to me, unlikely for a new car to have odo problems, they either work or they dont no gears or stuff to play up.

    maybe you should get a dash that counts in MPH that way they dont go up so fast

    Yeah, my Odometer read 151,700 when I turned the engine on. By the time I turned it off (about 10minutes later) 151,704

    Well if it went up by 4k'ms from 151,700 to 704, I would presume so, yes?

    Every day I'm finding it harder and harder to distinguish between the trolling members and the mentally challenged.

    Next time just drive there and reverse back then the kays will stay the same so you didn't really go anywhere . so you didn't really eat those fish and chips you just bought did you ? ,but then you won't be hungry so you won't need to go to the fish and chip shop , but you didn't go there in the first place . Don't believe me do you ? Well just go and check the kays on odometer , they haven't changed have they . its all in your mind .
