My supervisor, Mick, gave me a sheet of austin stats from about.com which included miles from major cities. Madison was not on the default set but was written in manually. "1240".
When I pulled in, my trip mile meter said 1239. Mind you, I am in Round Rock, not Austin, presumably that number would have been to Austin since nobody knew what my address was therefore, my actual miles should have been lower. BUT! I can account for that because I took a route "as the crow flies" through southern Iowa. (i dunno, i just kept going south till i hit I80) which added several miles. Scenic to say the least.
