I walk 3.1 miles 3 times a week but my Fitbit only days 2.4. The others who walk with me all have watches that measure the correct mileage. Help.

Are you using connected-GPS, connected to your phone's GPS?

If not, it is calculating distance as number of steps times stride length.  This would imply your stride length is set too short, and needs to be increased by (31. / 2.4).

See How do I measure and adjust stride length for my Fitbit device?

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
