What ho,

Got a X300 3.2 and wondered what speedo error might be - I've been told 5 to 10% generous at higher speeds, does this sound right? So at 100 whatits per hour you are actually doing 90 to 95 whatits.

By Law the speedo should NOT read UNDER your MPH or read OVER by more that 10MPH or 10%

Usually you find that they are set to read at 5MPH or 5% over




So all those do gooders in the outside lane sticking to 70MPH are infact only doing 65MPH
