On my highway there's a "speed meter" on the side to tell you how fast you're driving (so to scare you to slow down I guess.) I took my 2007 Camry, make sure no other cars are around, and set cruise at 75 mph, and the speed meter picked me up as only going 69 mph. I circled back, repeat at 70 mph cruise and the speed meter picked me up at 65 mph.
Took my 2000 Maxima, same thing, 75 is picked up as 70, and 70 picked up as 65.
Then took my 1990 Corolla, wah la, 75 is 75, 70 is 70.
There are 3 or 4 of them on I-5 north of Redding. I seldom if ever have got them to be withing 2 or 3 mph the same day. My Highlander registers about
I'd suggest getting a GPS...
A great excuse for a toy....
An analog watch with a second hand works pretty cheaply Scott! But always nice to get new toy s though!

You really need to go buy a stop watch and do the math.
The "speed meter" is probably wrong.
Easiest way to check your speed: GPS, for as litle as $99 (hold near windshield for good view of sky, recommend having a passenger for this). And then you have a fun toy for other things. Justification to spouse - I'm avoinding a $150 speeding ticket and license points!
Too late. I already used that excuse to buy Valentine One radar detector ($400), LOL.
