That's not that bad, if you're talking about racing. It's just ... 
sloppier. You could say "We're years ahead" and imply that it would take 
the competition years to catch up.  But you can say "We're miles ahead" 
and imply you're well ahead of the competition without actually 
committing to how *much* ahead you are. :-)
