GPS Speed, or Vanagon Speedometer speed...

I find the 10% error rate on my 84 Vanagon Speedometer, so when it says 75 MPH, I'm actually going (according to the GPS) 68 MPH.

I've pushed it to 85 and was actually going 76 MPH. I have a 2.1L by the way in my 84, the 1.9 would never have hit 85 on the speedometer!

60-65 in the '87 Westy 2.1 4-speed.  It'll go a faster but there's usually no need.

I'm just curious.  At what speed do most of you drive on the freeway? On flat road, that is...I'm in a 1.9 and  usually keep it around 60mph.
