Anywhere to check actual miles on car

Does anyone know an exact way I can check my cars actual millage (not through the gauge butunder the engine or computer.. i ask bc i also have a 2010 scion xd and for some odd reason when i drive that car its millage does not jump as high as it would on my corolla and I've driven the car at the same distance

example.. on the Coorlla if i set to trip a..it jumps quickly from 1.0 to 1.5 in less than 5 seconds adding up the numbers quickly.. and on the xd it does not do that

I know if i take it to the dealer..they will not help me out since they know the car is a lease

Take the car on an interstate and drive 10 miles - checking it against the mile markers. Your feeling that it isn't racking up miles at the same rate is meaningless without actually checking it.

nothing else except the gauge would tell you the mileage...a obd2 reader might but it'll tell you the same thing if your speed sensor is off calibration.

Why not use a GPS? I use my portable GPS all the time to get exact miles traveled when I'm working because every truck in the fleet is not correct.

I would drive the same route with both cars and compare the trip reading against the GPS.
