Hmmm... I dunno... if you can adjust that, you can make your tire size tiny and you'll never
rack up miles on your car -- unless that is caculated elsewhere... hmm, it probably is... so... I guess nevermind

i wouldn't worry about tickets....
"(i.e., mine said 70, theirs said 76)."
unless you typo'd that, you are going 6 mph slower than the "right" speed. So if you're doing 70 in a 60 zone, you're really only going 64.

Its usually adjustable within a range.
I'd guess it has to be in there, I can't imagine Audi (and VW for that matter) have completely different parts for their instrument clusters, etc. Something somewhere calculates distance from revolutions given a scaling factor.
Its just a matter of finding it. If you run 235/40R17's, for example, your warranty will run out 1000 miles early. That just sucks.
