Mine said 2.5. What in the world does this mean?

You've driven 2.5 miles since last trip reset or since last battery disconnect. Continue holding the odometer trip button in and it will reset to zero.

Yeah, with a Renix.

I do that with my '96 and I get a can of warm Shasta and a letter from the IRS.

Not that, That was 9.6 miles. I am fairly good at automotive repair, but this is a new one.
