That's what gave me the idea that the speedo is off, then yesterday driving RT 1 other cars normally max out at 60mph but most of the time the cars I was following were doing 65 indicated in my car.
It occurs to me I should have paid more attention to the mile markers on the highway. If the mileage is reading high it should show up in the car thinking its traveled farther than it actually has. Probably wouldn't show up over 1 mile but should over 10 or 100... -Curt On Monday, June 10, 2024 at 11:23:23 AM EDT, Allan Streib via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: I usually check mine against the roadside "Your Speed" signs that are often set up in construction zones. But I don't really know how accurate those are, and I could see the motivation for having them set a little high.
