here's a longshot...
Do you think the tire size is throwing off odometer?
Maybe you've actually travelled more than 6K miles ?

Yes, our odometers are off by a few mpg from the factory, but the rolling diameter stays practically the same whether you use 16" or 20" rims, as long as you keep the appropriate tire wall height as you go up in size...or down.

The odometers are as accurate as any other.... i think you're confusing the speedometer registering a few MPH high, for reasons that have been discussed here before. The odometers are accurate.
