if you drive 1000 miles on ur tires and u add 1000 to ur odometer, then u will have really driven 987 miles I THINK. (1000 - 1.3% of 1000 =897)

basically ur odometer will have 1.3% too many miles then what you really traveled.

1.3% of 1000 isn't 130, its 13 miles extra. haha this is getting really confusing.

This is correct. I seriously hope MIT is an acronym for something other than the "Harvard of Technology" because this is simple math dude!
