Cruise control always 1mph above limit?
The reason why speedometers can be out by so much is because they effectively measure he rotational speed of a wheel. However, because the diameter of a tyre changes slightly from new to worn out (the tread is worn away), the distance travelled by the wheel varies as well. Therefore, the speedometer will not usually show the exact speed of the car.biggster2014-09-02 06:38:54

Yes, mine is 1mph out. If it is set for 60 mph speedo shows 61 but not too bothered. I have also checked the speedo against GPS and speedo reads 3 mph over the GPS, So if speedo is saying n70 the actual speed per GPS is 67. I believe this is normal with all cars.

My speedo shows the speed I set on the cruise control for. Only variation as it adjusts for inclines up or down when it rapidly takes it back to the set speed

That's on the digital speedo. I don't understand why in this day they still use a large dial with a needle swinging back and forth from which your supposed to tell what speed your doing. Two small displays could replace those big dials.

Analogue dials are very good at helping to visualise your acceleration, where digital readouts are not - especially because the refresh rate of the digital speedos can be so low.Plus they do the cool dance when the car starts up!
