Purchased car used with 28,232. Today, 9/5 after returning from vacation, travelling at least 280 miles - going thru 1-1/2 tanks of gas, car registers 28,332. Trip odometer only 7 (reset at fill-up). Noticed trip had said 90 at last fill-up. That's when noticed a problem and watched. Carfax report shows last mileage 24,143 8/99 then registered in Alabama 10/99 - no mileage.
