Interesting.
I always thought that the reason AC didn't account for my previous mileage on CP (probably about 300K miles) was simply out of meanness.
I frequently tell those prone to conspiracy theories to never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by incompetence. I guess I should practice what I preach.
