Default speedometer is off by 1 Mph

When I set my cruise for say 70 mph my speedometer will say 71. It's always 1 mph off when I use my cruise control. Anyone else have this problem? It drives me nuts, I wonder if some sort of a reset will fix it.

I've noticed this and I think its the angle you're looking at the speedo needle. Try centering your face right in front and it looks correct to me usually.

I'm sure I posted the exact same comment in a thread that complained about the exact same thing a few months ago. If you can tell the 1 mph increment with that big fat needle of ours, my hat's off to you...

1st world problem is damn right! I think some people just look for reasons to be unhappy about sh*t...
