Driving longer and further...

Prolly you just enjoy your 2nd/3rd gears too much and forget to watch how much time you already spent on your car...


It should NOT... IMO.

Mechanically this should be impossible... The speedo/mileage is derived from the transmissions output shaft. You could be at different rpm/gears but the output shaft is still one with what the tires are doing.

I do believe Rets' explanation applies

Time flies when you are having fun, and so do the miles.
