  Honest John's Motoring Agony Column 16-5-2015 16 May 2015 (News)
  But it is crucial that they do switch on because of the Florida heat and the a/c.    Horrorlogical I have long thought that my Nissan Note, bought new in December 2012, overstates its mileage. Now I have proof. A regular journey that we make on which every other car clocks 91 miles, is always 95 miles in the Note. Does this mean the speedometer is equally inaccurate?
