I noticed this myself. My buddy has a Corrado VR6, and I think we're going
to get on the freeway, and set our cruise at 65 and see who ends up going
faster.

I test my GLX using the computer while at cruising speed (say at 75mph) and
then reset the computer, and it shows that my average speed is about 71mph.
Unless there's a flaw in the computer and how it calculates the average, I
tend to agree the spedometer is off.

I wonder which one is right, and if you can argue your way out of a ticket
by pointing out your computer display to the officer ;-)
