For single trip mileage, before starting the car, write down the odometer reading, including the last number. If between two numbers, round up. So, your odometer might read 30,455.8 miles (total miles the car has been driven). Make your trip and before getting out of the car, write down the new odometer reading (round up if necessary). Subtract the smaller number from the larger number.

To track your weekly, monthly, or yearly mileage, you'll need to write down the odometer reading at the start and end of each trip. Subtract 2 successive numbers to get "the trip" mileage on a certain day, such as to claim mileage on itemized taxes.

If you want to know whether the car's lifetime mileage has been "rolled back" on the odometer or if the odometer has already "rolled over", consult a car mechanic to verify whether the odometer has been tampered with.
