    If you're concerned about your odometer's accuracy, don't test it using the speed readout of your GPS. Instead, do several point-to-point tests using the GPS distance readout over straight roads of 5km or more.
    but heres something I really was not aware of

    Hubodometers are notoriously unreliable and inaccurate. they go on to say It is unconscionable for government to collect some $800m in revenue, relying on mandated distance measurement devices that are notoriously inaccurate and are not required to meet an established technical standard for accuracy. The NZTA has continued to resist any opportunity to test hubodometers for reliability and durability and have instead required owners of vehicles to rely on hubodometer manufacturer warrantees.

    They are now doing GPS based electronic RUC as well which seems to be the future.
