Speedo inaccuracy

[John Vine]

That's good. Bear in mind that you can fine-tune the speedo (or, more specifically, the trip) to high levels of accuracy. Just compare trip mileage to, say, GPS mileage, and then work out a new 6-digit code to compensate for the difference (the code value is proportional to wheel revs/mile). With dedication, you could easily get within 0.05%. (But you'd need to recalculate as your tyres wear. 😬)

Perhaps it's something that should live on BlatChat as a reference point, as this topic comes up fairly regularly

Yes, we need a technical wiki.

For anyone who may need the codes (MPH) for the programmable speedo, I've put the list up on Photobucket here. (There's also a KPH list in the same album.)
