I've been trying different hypermiling techniques every now and again, and on the way home there is a straight section of hill sloped slightly downwards that I can always coast a couple miles in neutral. One day, with nobody around, I decided to shut off the engine while coasting.

After I started the engine back up, while still rolling, I noticed that the odometer and trip-meter hadn't counted the miles I'd coasted!

This doesn't seem right...my previous car with its mechanical odometer would count the miles, now this one with the electronic odometer doesn't seem to count them? Has anybody experienced this?
