Speedometre placement
I also notice this problem, I was wondering if the placement of the speedometer has anything to do with the inaccurate reading. Since the speedometer is on an angle in comparison to the normal line of sight you dont percieve the speed the same way you would if you were looking at the speedometer without the angle. this results in you (the driver) thinking that you are going faster than you actually are, or the passenger thinking that you are going slower.

The Speedometer on mine is quite inaccurate, too, but I think this is for psychological reasons:
I have built a gauge that shows me some OBD data and the speed I get to see there is the same as what I can measure using GPS. |
