Fair enough. :D  However it's not an option in my car, so miles will just have to do. :P

66660 miles is 1.0728e+05 km, 66666 miles is 1.0729e+05 km. Now, a leading zero is a pretty common way to signal octal notation, so perhaps we are talking 28080 and 28086, in which case it is 45190 and 45200 km. In case someone wants to make a more informed choice than I did. ;)

Oh God, what have I started? :D

OK, here's my dilemma: while the display number 066660 is far more pleasing to my eye, the fact the car had gone a perfect 66666 miles appeals to me more than the idea it had done 66660.
