there has been alot of talk about the Speedo being out therefore throw your Ks out aswell, UNTRUE
tested it by using the Speedo Check signs that they have on the side of the road, (mine is about 0.2ks out over 5ks) plus if you reset the Fuel Average while driving you will see that the computer speed reads lower than the speedo.

Did you know..... that it's not just the Lancers. All newer cars actually go slower than the speedo says. Some are out by 5km/hr or more. That's probably one of the reasons that older cars zip past newer ones on the highway. The newer ones have their cruise control set on 100 for example but they are actually doing 95-97. The older cars (my old Bubble for instance) have more accurated speedos and are actually doing the 100. It just looks like they're speeding past because they're on the speed limit and you're actually below it.
Hubby used to go along at 110 on the Freeway and I'd be behind him and my Bubble would be doing close to 100. Mine was right. The Craptiva was wayyyyy out. I'd then get into trouble for going past him and pulling away. He'd ring me and up me. I used to tell him to keep up because I was the one actually doing the speed limit.
I usually set my CC at 103 to make up for that. A hell of a lot of people still rush by me though. Last week going along the Golden Hwy between Sandy Hollow and Singleton I was on 103 in a 100 zone and people were past me and gone. Obviously the speed limit is just a guide that you don't have to stick to. Or be anywhere near.
