Speedometer Problem
Here is the test I performed today. Drove 100 miles, mostly interstate today on a trip. I used this opportunity to check over a long distance. I started at a mile marker and zero'd the car odometer, and GPS at same time at that mile marker. At the 100th mile marker, the GPS registered about 101, the car 110. At 80mph GPS, the car speedo was reading 90mph. So basically, when the car trips 36,000 miles for the warranty, the car will only have been driven 32,400. Is this enough to worry about? I can live with a 5mph difference between 65-70, but 10mph at 75-80 is a bit much when trying to gauge your speed on the highway.

Nobody else has any experiences with incorrect speedos?

Buy a tuner. Whatever gear ratio you have, tell the computer you have one step lower gears. If your gears are 4.10s then tell your computer you have 4.30. Your speedo will be off the same amount, but in the other way.
