There are specialty shops that will open up your speedo and adjust the gap
(I was told they use magnetic eddy current to move the needle) to make
your speedo more accurate.  Don't blame the manufacturer, I was told there
is a federal DOT spec that odometers and speedos are not allowed to read
slow.  They can be right on or fast, but never slow.  I guess most companies
try to play it safe with a few percent.
