And the speedometer readings seem to be a constant 2-3 mph off regardless of actual vehicle speed. If the speedometer being high was directly related to the odometer reading, then the variance between indicated speed and actual speed would be greater the higher the speed of the vehicle. Just my $0.02.
I believe this to be correct as well. If I recall correctly, Society of Automotive Engineers specifies/requires odometers to be +/-4% of actual.
