My new 2008 Outback speedo and odometer both read 9% too high. My old 1998 Holden reads only 1% high! Compared with GPS and roadside km posts and other cars. When I asked Subaru Service Dept to fix it during a service, they said 10% high was their standard because it was an Austalian standard. Even the Austalian head of Subaru customer service would not take interest in the matter.

one other thing is that most cars show that you travel at 100km/h where in reality your only travelling anywhere between 92-98km/h which is another reason why the milage creeps up quickly. My wife’s TJ Magna is natorious when it comes to speed accuracy at 100km/h.

I really doubt it,

its actually rather interesting that they have a 4% margin for error,

when you think about it thats 4,000km for ever 100,000ks! so your car loses resale value a good few months quicker than it really should!

It would be interesting to see if they also offer compensation for a lower re-sale value, and more frequent service intervals too.
