Default trip meter displaying KM while reporting miles. help please.

Hello all, I hope someone might be able to shed some light on an issue i am having please. I recently purchased my 2004 crossfire (in Ontario, Canada), i have been enjoying it greatly but i recently noticed some weird numbers regarding fuel consumption. I have a habit of resetting my trip meter when i refill, i noticed my trip meter seems to be averaging approx 260 km till i hit the refill mark on fuel gauge, this obviously seemed very wrong so i checked the forums and people seem to be getting around 400km on a tank. so today i did an experiment on the highway, i started at the beginning of a highway km marker 0 and reset my trip meter, when i got to km marker 66 my trip meter said 42 km. so i have come to the conclusion that it is displaying in miles even though the LCD says KM. now i am very worried that the odometer is in miles and i have purchased a vehicle with much much higher mileage that i originally anticipated? I will do odometer experiment tomorrow, i suspect it is displaying miles also if trip meter is.
has anyone encountered this? is there a way for me to witch between miles and km myself or must this be done at dealer? BTW my speedo is displaying in KM correctly interestingly enough. i suppose my first clue should have been the temperature is in Fahrenheit
i am very confused and worried.any help would be greatly appreciated please.
thank you,
Jeff
