Speedo reading low?!?

Those things are at least as inaccurate as your speedo.  Get a passenger
with a stopwatch, set cruise on the freeway, and time the mile markers.
 Take several (10+) measurements, and average them to account for
stopwatch error and signpost installer error.  At least measure when
cruising at your normal speed.  Preferably, take several passes at
different speeds (45, 55, 65, 75?), as your speedo may be 5mph off at
one speed, but only 3mph off at another (usually it is a % error).
