I stopped at the gas station to fill up my RT for the first time since driving her off the lot, and as I went to reset Trip A, I noticed something a bit strange. Can you spot what I saw??

Your Trip meter seems to have gone 1 mile further than total miles.

Exactly!!! How does that happen?? :dontknow: I have never seen that before and am puzzled by how it can even occur. :hun:

Sounds to me like you "Took a trip and never left the farm".

102.0 and maybe 101.99999. total mileage only reads to the nearest mile, whereas trip reads to nearest .1
maybe not a lot of difference really.
After a thousand and it was 5 or 10 out, THEN I might start to wonder.
interesting though
cheers

Looks like the :spyder2: gremlin is still alive and well. Let us know if it gets more interesting than that.

Push the reset on trip A and you will eventually forget it ever happened.:roflblack:

I noticed something different

100, 101, 102, 103...

All on the screen :)

Now if we could just work "87" into the equation...

Total milage = 101
Trip = 102
Time = 103
Radio = 105
And you parked in 1ST GEAR (better step on the brake)
:D:D:D:D

Now if we could just work "87" into the equation...

(SqRt(100 + 101 + 102 + 103)) + 87 = 107 (Close but no cigar)

It just shows that there is a probability that 87% of the time you cannot get all the numbers to agree with what you want. :roflblack:

I know on my RT that every time I check mileage the numbers do not check out between the odometer and the trip numbers. Usely off by 1 or 2 miles. Not sure why but thats the way it is. Bob :dontknow:

I noticed the same thing a few weeks back when they replaced my instrument cluster. Trip odometer had about a half mile more than the total miles.

101+102+103= 106

106-100= 6

Break down 87f into 8 and 7 and take the number from above..

Then we have 8, 7, 6 !!

Think I'm onto something

Not sure what pain meds they have you on from your accident--- but I want some..... ;)

I've had the same thing happen on my RT S. More than once.
