That raises a second question: if the speedo reads high, then the odo will read high. I guess you could say it accelerates your depreciation. But why on earth do they want the speedo to read high? Seems quite unGerman as well.

What do people do when they buy after market wheels/tires? You could specifically get ones that slow down your odo over the life of the car. Doesn't seem like there is any recalibration going on ...
