I have noticed this since I got mine a few months ago. There is now a =
little over 10K on the odometer. =20
I have a feeling that, if you are not moving, warm air from the engine =
compartment/exhaust system may influence the reading, but a reading =
after you have been going steady down the road for a while should be =
more accurate.  It doesn't hold up regarding the Jetta, however.  There =
is always somewhere between 5 and 10 degrees difference between the =
car's reading and the local banks.  The current weather when I check the =
car gauge gives me the feeling  that the temp the banks show are =
probably the correct one as well. =20
By the way, wind chill only affects exposed skin.  Air temp is air temp =
no matter how fast it is moving. :)
Just my 2 cents.=20

Hey I am not sure if this measures wind chill?  The sensor is located in =
the bottom passenger side front under the bumper in a blank black piece =
in you front spoiler. Make sure it's clean and no snow on it.
