    My Pruis had 564 miles on it when I pulled out of the driveway today. I went 11 miles and it now reads 702. How is that possible? Can someone hack the computer or what?

    I just want to point out that this is the strangest poll I have ever seen. I can't vote yes or no on the poll question. :confused:

    Folks, Veni has an honest concern, some of your replys make jokes which is very counter productive. Veni, most of the replys are positive attempts to solve your delimma. Maybe your wife or another drove the car and inadvertantly pushed a button as indicated by schmuly or drysider? They are trying to help you, please respond with your discovery...........

    (564+11) 575 miles would be 920 kilometers, not 702.

    sorry for my poor attempt at humor. perhaps the wheels were spinning on a slick surface, but the car didnt actually go anywhere.
