<x-flowed>People often forget that wheel changes will affect the odometer 
reading.  Smaller tires will produce more miles than actually covered 
;-)  It's best to determine how much off one's odometer/speedometer is 
and correct for mileage.  Along Interstate 5 there are odometer check 
sections one can use for determining error.
