So it is quite possible that when you are travelling at 100klm/hr as indicated by your speedo, you could possibly be travelling at an actual speed of say 93klm/hr.
Mind you, it could also be the other way.
As I've said elsewhere, the speedo in my Prado reads slow. It always has. At 100kph indicated, cruise control on, straight and level road, all three of my GPSs flicker between 102 and 103.

Obviously it wasn't calibrated for the factory standard wheel/tyre combination on the vehicle.
