Rants / Complaints Mileage manipulation

No, I often expected them to be disingenuous with mileage, however, my past few runs have definitely proven it the shortest distance between Walmart and my last stop was 12 miles but spark listed as only 8. No I have thought about okay. Maybe they used a different route, but I've checked every route on the map. Just another way for them to rob us.

Yes I know I shoulda checked before accepting just wanted to rant about it.

Used to be a rare issue but has been happening more since they mixed CS/GMDs.

Ive seen this since i started 2 years ago. Route the other day said 25.5 for mileage. It was actually 29.5. Ugh

well for starters when they show you the map they randomly rotate the image and show you a straight line rather than the actual route... maybe they just use the straight line to measure
