Didn't know what tires you were running. That is why I said "If". Even a 1.9L running right will easily do 85 on the level. That size tire probably puts the speedo where it belongs or only off by 1 or 2%. See my earlier post.

If you are running stock size tires, after you take out the speedo error, you were only dong about 85. The rated max/cruising speed. Dennis
