    My 2006 is definitely liberal with its speedometer. Consistently shows two mph higher than radar postings show around town. I guess that means the speedo is "slow" although that seems a counterintuitive term! I'm on your team though OP I do get blown by with intent.

    If you change your tire size to 195/65/15, then it'll read correctly

    I have BF Goodrich touring tires on mine. The Lex had those low profile tires on them.

    In California it is not uncommon to be clipping along at nearly 80 mph in a 70 mph zone and be passed by a cop who is invariably on the phone. I set the cruise at 77 in light traffic and get passed by hundreds of vehicles a week. Many of them are big rigs or pickups towing toy haulers who are "limited" by statute to 55 mph.
