Question Odometer is NOT accurate ???

The odometer (distance counter) appears to be inaccurate. Today (May 25th), on my way to dropping my daughter to the mall, I broke 100 miles... what a milestone so it's very clear in my mind. About 3 miles later, I dropped her off at the mall then I drove about 4 or 5 miles more to pick-up pizza. Then I noticed, my Mini already has 115 miles ??? I'm 99 percent sure that it's not accurate. Going to the mall & picking up pizza are routine for me. Thus, I have a pretty good idea of the distances I've covered.
The odometer is either FAST or "jumped" (added miles between shut-off and turning the car back on.) I think it's the former. I'll keep a very close eye on the odometer and we'll do some testing. I recall that there were others in Mini2 forum who've expressed the same concerns relative to the inaccuracies of the odometer. I'll contact MiniUSA & my dealer once I've validated my suspicions.
Any thoughts or comments???
