Thanx everyone for responding. I did the 60 mph timed mile and it was off. I feel I should do several of these and get an average because mile markers are not guaranteed to be accurately placed. I think at 85 mph (indicated) I am probably going 70 mph +/-. I know the car is smooth at high speeds but the surrounding traffic usually is not going in the 80's.

OK - let the jabs begin...I know I drive way too fast...

Midnight, just do the GPS thing and take the guess work out. One check is all it takes.
