The last digit on the odometer is tenths of a mile. It is probably 91,952 and 6 tenths of a mile. Drive it and see if the last digit moves up 1 even if you havent driven a mile yet. That's your answer.

Ive never seen an odometer with tenths of a mile, i've only seen trip meters with it... maybe im to young.

yep, when i first noticed this, i thought my odometer was malfunctioning, but its tenths of a mile.

the odometer does not read tenths of a mile. the trip-odometer does. if you take your car to a shop they can scan the ecu which should have the correct mileage logged

this is 19,172 miles. not 1,917.2

whoops, i stand corrected. Thanks mugenkid18.

haha exactly what i was thinking......

im thinking that the odometer was rolled backwards (past 0.0) and that's why it reads such a high mileage. like i already stated, if you get an obd2 scanner you can check the actual mileage that is logged in the computer

All high-mileage vehicles still traveling our nation's roads, however, must tip their rusty hats to this one, Irv Gordon's 1966 Volvo P1800 with 2.6 million miles under its belt-line. Gordon has been the only owner of this P1800 since it was purchased new in 1966. A 125-mile round trip daily commute and a penchant for regular maintenance got the car this far, and in 1998 it made the Guinness Book of World Records at just 1.69 million miles.

Since retired from teaching science, Gordon now plans on hitting the 3 million-mile mark sometime in the next five years. Keep in mind, he's slowed down to 80,000 miles/year from his record pace of over 100,000 miles/year in 2002. While not promising to retire the car once it hits 3 million miles, Gordon says he might break down before the car does. We hope if that if he does reach that milestone, Volvo will pony up a free replacement for his Energizer Bunny-esqe P1800. How about a C30?

That is a ton in gas money lol.
I'm pretty sure the P1800 didn't get the greatest gas mileage

 

[1991civicZC]

[97civicMan]

[dtgrowl]

[dtgrowl]

i dont think that's the original gauge cluster... if i remember correctly an automatic lx wouldnt have a tachometer

 

[97civicMan]

^^^Thats what i was thinking.....I carfaxed the car before i bought it and the last reading was in late 06 and was 147,000. But can you imagine the car that speedo came out of!!! hahahaha
